Question

A,B,C,D and E are five boys. In these B is taller than E, but smaller than A. A is smaller than C but taller than D while D is taller than B. If all these boys stand in the order of length then who will be the second shortest?

• A. A
• B. E
• C. D
• D. B

Answer 1

The correct option is D B

B is taller than E, but smaller than A

$\Rightarrow A>B>E$ ...(1)

A is smaller than C but taller than D

$\Rightarrow C>A>D$ ...(2)

D is taller than B

$\Rightarrow D>B$ ...(3)

From (1), (2), (3),

$C>A>D>B>E$.

Thus, B is in the fourth position or second shortest.

option D is correct.
