There are five friends L, M, N, O and P each having different height. Only two friends are taller than M. L is tallest among all. P is shorter than M, but taller than N. Who is the shortest among the five friends? Correct Answer N

The logic follows here is:

There are five friends L, M, N, O, and P each having different heights.

1) Only two friends are taller than M

⇒ _> _ > M > _ > _

2) L is the tallest among all

⇒ L > _ > M > _ > _

3) P is shorter than M, but taller than N

⇒ L > _ > M > P > N

Therefore, the final order of five friends as per their heights is as follows:

⇒ L > O > M > P > N

From the above arrangement, it is clear that among all the five friends N is the shortest one.

Hence, the correct answer is N.
