Questions : Among P, Q, R, S and T, Q is the second tallest and S is immediate taller than the shortest . Who among them is in the middle when they stand in the order of their heights.
Statements :
I. T is not the shortest.
II. R is taller than S but shortest than Q.
III. P ranks third in height above S when all are arranged in the order of height.
- A Only I and II
- B Either II only or I and III only Correct
- C Only II
- D Only II and III
- E None of these
Correct Answer: Option B
From the given statement, the descending order of heights is : _, Q, _, S, _.
From II, we have the order : _, Q, R, S, _. Thus, R is in the middle.
From III, we have the order : P, Q, _, S, _. But, according to I, T is not the shortest.
So, R is the shortest. Thus, we have the order : P, Q, T, S, R. So, T is in the middle.
