Question: Who is the tallest among six boys P, T, N, D, Q and R?

Statements:

2. R is taller than Q but not as tall as T.
3. Q is not taller than T and R.
Options
A. Only I and II
B. Only II and III
C. Only I and III

Correct Answer

Only I and II

Explanation

From I, we have: P > D, P > N, T > P i.e. T > P > D > N or T > P > N > D ...(i)

From II, we have: R > Q, T > R i.e. T > R > Q ...(ii)

From III, we have: T > Q, R > Q ...(iii)

Clearly, from (i) and (ii), we conclude that T is taller than each one of P, N, D, R and Q. So, T is the tallest.
