Height order logic: Anil is taller than Sunny. Sunny is shorter than Baby. Anil is taller than Bose, and Bose is shorter than Sunny. Baby is shorter than Anil. Who is the shortest?

Introduction / Context:We are given comparative height statements. Translating each sentence into inequalities and merging them yields a total order. The question asks for the minimum (shortest).

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Anil > Sunny.
• Sunny < Baby ⇒ Baby > Sunny.
• Anil > Bose and Bose < Sunny ⇒ Bose is below Sunny.
• Baby < Anil ⇒ Anil is above Baby.

Concept / Approach:Combine all relations. From Bose < Sunny and Sunny < Baby < Anil (since Baby < Anil and Anil > Sunny), we get a chain: Bose < Sunny < Baby < Anil. The shortest is at the left end.

Step-by-Step Solution:

Verification / Alternative check:Each original relation is satisfied by the chain above.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:

• Anil/Baby/Sunny: Each is taller than at least one other person.
• None of these: A correct explicit option exists (Bose).

Common Pitfalls:Overlooking “Bose is shorter than Sunny” which pushes Bose to the bottom.

Final Answer:Bose
