Question

If they are arranged in the descending order of their ages, who will be in fourth position?

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

Answer 1

The correct option is E None of these

First find sequence of heights
By (iii), we have M < P
By (v), we have P < N.
Now, Rupa is tallest and Kamini is second in height, hence sequence of heights is:
M < P < N < K < R.
Now, find age sequence:
By (ii), we have K < R.
By (ii), we have P < M.
By (iv), we have R = M.
By (v), we have R < N.
Hence sequence of ages is:
N < R = M < K < P or N < R = M < P < K.
In the descending order of ages, Neelam will be in fourth position (because Monika and Rupa both lie at third position).

Hence the answer is option E
