F is between B and A.
E is shorter than D but taller than C who is taller than A
E and F have two boys between them. A is not the shortest among them.
Q27. Where is E?
The correct option is C (c) Between D and C
We may use the usual inequality sign to compare heights, taking care to note that taller is behind the shorter. Conditions are (1) A < F < B or B < F < A; (2) A < C < E < D
Now the third condition that there are two boys between E and F becomes decisive.
Therefore, B < F < A < C < E < D because the alternative A<C<E<D<B<F is not feasible as it contradicts the first condition.
