Correct Answer: Option E

From I, we have : D > A >, D > C. From II, we have : E > B > D. Combining the above two, we get E > B > D >A > C or E > B > D > C > A. Thus, E is the tallest.

In the given statements and II, the common words are 'He' and 'is' and the common code words are 'sin' and 'bye'. So 'sin' and 'bye' are the codes for 'He' and 'is'. Thus in the given statement, 'co' is the code for 'good'

From II, we conclude that M and N are the children of S. Also, R is the daughter-in-law of S and sister-in-law of M. So, R is N's wife and thus, N is M's brother. Hence, M is either brother or sister of N.
