Answer 1

The correct option is D P

There are total 6 persons P, Q, R, S, T and U.
P is taller than R and S
P > R and S ..... (i)
P is shorter than T and U
P > T and U ...... (ii)
Q is taller than R, S, T and U
Q > R, S, T and U ..... (iii)
Q is not as tall as P
P > Q ..... (iv)
From Eqs. (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv)
P > Q > R, S, T, U
Therefore, P is the tallest.
