Question :
Five friends A, B, C, D and E are standing in a line according to height from the shortest to the tallest. If A is the shortest, then who is the tallest of them all? Statements:
I. B is between E and C and D is between A and E.
II. There are two persons between A and B and C is taller than B.

• 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 the statements I and II together are necessary

Hint:

In problems of relative positioning, carefully evaluate how each statement provides clarity on the order of the elements involved.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Statement I gives enough information to establish the positions and relationships in terms of height.
Statement II alone also provides enough information about the relative heights of the people involved, making it sufficient to determine the tallest person.
