Question

If they are arranged in the ascending order of height, who will be in third position ?

• A. Monika
• B. Rupa
• C. Monika or Rupa
• D. Data inadequate
• E. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is E None of these

We first find the sequence of height :
By (iii), we have : M < P.
By (v), we have : P < N.
Now, Rupa is tallest and Kamini is is second in height.
So, the sequence of heights is : M < P < N < K < R.
Now, we determine the age sequence :
By (ii), we have : K < R.
By (iii), we have : P < M.
By (iv), we have : R = M.
By (v), we have : R < N.
So, the sequence of ages is : N < R = M < K < P or N < R = M < P < K.
Clearly, in the increasing order of height, Neelam is in third position.
Hence, the answer is (E).
