Answer
Correct Answer: Bipul
Explanation
Introduction / Context:We are to identify the maximum in a set of four with provided pairwise comparisons.
Given Data / Assumptions:
- Barun > Sanjay.
- Bipul > Barun.
- Krishna < Bipul and Krishna > Barun.
Concept / Approach:From the relations: Bipul exceeds Barun and also exceeds Krishna (since Krishna < Bipul). Sanjay is below Barun, so he is below Bipul too. Therefore, Bipul is the tallest.
Step-by-Step Ordering:
1) Place Sanjay at the bottom relative to Barun (Barun > Sanjay).2) Place Bipul above Barun (Bipul > Barun).3) Insert Krishna between Bipul and Barun as Krishna > Barun but < Bipul.4) Final order (short→tall): Sanjay < Barun < Krishna < Bipul.Verification / Alternative check:All original statements are satisfied by the chain above; the top is Bipul.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
- Barun/Krishna: Each is below Bipul.
- Sanjay: Lowest among the four.
Common Pitfalls:Missing that “Krishna is shorter than Bipul” rules out Krishna as tallest.
Final Answer:Bipul
