Question

A question is given, followed by two statements. Identify which of the statements is/are sufficient to answer the question.
Question:
Who is the tallest among A, B, C, D and E?
Statements:
I. E is taller than only C. B is taller than both A and C but shorter than D.
II. A is taller than both E and C. B is shorter than only D.

• A. Statement I alone is sufficient
• B. Statement II alone is sufficient
• C. Either statement I alone or statement II alone is sufficient
• D. Both statements I and II are needed

Hint:

For height or ranking questions, ensure you can establish the complete order of comparison using the given statements. If one statement provides enough comparisons, it may be sufficient.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

- Statement I helps determine the order of height, with enough information to conclude who is the tallest.
- Statement II also provides enough information to determine the tallest person, as it gives relative comparisons of the heights.
- Therefore, either statement alone is sufficient.
