(B) Navin is shorter than Kunal;
(C) Jayesh is taller than Navin;
(D) Ashok is taller than Jayesh.
Which of the given information is not necessary to know the tallest person among the given names ?

• A. A

• E. None of these

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

C

In terms of height, we have :
Gopal < Ashok, Kunal < Gopal, Navin < Kunal, Navin < Jayesh, Jayesh < Ashok.
So the sequence becomes :
Navin < Kunal < Gopal < Jayesh < Ashok.
To make this sequence we don't need the statement C.
Hence, statement C is not necessary.
