P, Q, R, S and T are five students. P is shorter than Q but taller than T. R is the tallest. S is shorter than Q and taller than P. Which student has two students taller and two students shorter than him/her? Correct Answer S

1) P is shorter than Q but taller than T. R is the tallest.

So there are three cases possible-:

Case 1-: R > _  > Q > P > T

Case 2-: R > Q > P > T > _

Case 3-: R > Q > _ > P > T

2) S is shorter than Q and taller than P.

So only Case 3 will remain, rest will be eliminated.

R > Q > S > P > T

So according to case 3, student who has two students taller and two students shorter than him is S.

Hence, the correct answer is "S".
