Five students, A, B, C, D, and E, are standing in a line for the morning prayer in ascending order of their heights. Find who is standing in the last.
1. A is taller than D and E but shorter than C.
2. E is taller than D.
3. B is taller than A, but B is not the tallest.

• A. A
• B. E
• C. C
• D. D

Answer 1

The correct option is C C

A is taller than D and E.
A > D/E

A is shorter than C.
C > A
Thus, C > A > D/E.

E is taller than D.
E > D
Thus, C > A > E > D.

B is taller than A, but B is not the tallest.
B > A
Thus, C > B > A > E > D.

D is the shortest, and C is the tallest.

C would be standing in the last during morning prayer.
