Height of 8 boys B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6, B7, and B8 are compared. Height of B3 will be the least or maximum. Height of B4 is more than B6. Height of B8 is less than only 3 boys. Height of B2 is more than B1 but less than B8. Height of B2 is less than B3. If the height of B4 is less than B1, then which of the following sequence of their heights may be correct?

Height of B2 is more than B1 but less than B8. Height of B2 is less than B3. If the height of B4 is less than B1, then which of the following sequence of their heights may be correct? Correct Answer B3 > B5 = B7 > B8 > B2 > B1 > B4 > B6
The logic followed is:
Height of 8 boys B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6, B7, and B8 are compared.
i) Height of B4 is more than B6.
B4 > B6 equation i)
ii) Height of B8 is less than only 3 boys.
iii) Height of B2 is more than B1 but less than B8.
B8 > B2 > B1 equation ii)
iv) If the height of B4 is less than B1
B1 > B4 equation iii)
From the equation i) and iii) we can say,
B6 is the smallest of all. Thus we can conclude from the given statement i.e the height of B3 will be the least or maximum. As B6 is the smallest, it is only possible B3 is the maximum in height.
Thus the final arrangement is:
B3 > B5 = B7 > B8 > B2 > B1 > B4 > B6
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".
