The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
- Step 1: P is not tallest (P<Q or P<R).
- Step 2: Q says R>P, so P is not tallest, consistent.
- Step 3: R says Q is tallest, so Q>R and Q>P.
- Step 4: Combine: Q>R>P. Q is tallest.
- Step 5: Verify: No contradictions in statements.
- Step 6: Option (2) is correct.
- Step 2: Q says R>P, so P is not tallest, consistent.
- Step 3: R says Q is tallest, so Q>R and Q>P.
- Step 4: Combine: Q>R>P. Q is tallest.
- Step 5: Verify: No contradictions in statements.
- Step 6: Option (2) is correct.
