Question

Who is third from the top when they are arranged in descending order of height ?

• A. A
• B. B
• C. C
• D. E
• E. None of these

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

A

In terms of height, we have :

B < F, C < F, C < D, E < D, F < E, A < E, F < A.

So, C < F < E < D, B < F, F < A < E

Thus, the sequence becomes :

B < C < F < A < E < D or C < B < F < A < E < D.

In terms of weight, we have :

A < B, A < C, B < D, D < F.

So, A < B < D < F, A < C.

Thus, the sequence becomes :

A < C < B < D < F or A < B < C < D < F or A < B < D < C < F.

The descending order of height is :

D > E > A > F > B > C or D > E > A > F > C > B.

Clearly, A is third from the top.
