Study the given information and answer the question that follows. i) Six students P, Q, R, S, T, and U are in a class. ii) Q and R are lighter than U but taller than P. iii) S is taller than Q and heavier than R. iv) T is lighter than S but heavier than U. v) U is taller than S. vi) P is lighter than T but heavier than U. vii) P is taller than T. Who among the students is the shortest?
Study the given information and answer the question that follows. i) Six students P, Q, R, S, T, and U are in a class. ii) Q and R are lighter than U but taller than P. iii) S is taller than Q and heavier than R. iv) T is lighter than S but heavier than U. v) U is taller than S. vi) P is lighter than T but heavier than U. vii) P is taller than T. Who among the students is the shortest? Correct Answer T
Given:
Six students - P, Q, R, S, T, and U
i) Q and R are lighter than U but taller than P.
Weight – U > Q and R
Height – Q and R > P
ii) S is taller than Q and heavier than R.
Weight – S > R
Height – S > Q
iii) T is lighter than S but heavier than U.
Weight– S > T; T > U
iv) U is taller than S.
Height – U > S
v) P is lighter than T but heavier than U.
Weight – T > P; P > U
vi) P is taller than T.
Height – P > T
Arranging the information in sequence -
Weight – S > T > P > U > Q and R
Height – U > S > Q and R > P > T
Hence, “T” is the shortest among the students.
