Study the following questions and statement, and decide which of statements is/are sufficient to answer the question. Question: J, K, L, M, N and O are standing in a row. If we arrange them according to their height from tallest to shortest, who is standing in the third place? Statements: 1. L is the tallest 2. J is taller than K 3. N is the shortest of all 4. K is taller than O Correct Answer All the statements are insufficient

Statements 1 and 3 together:

L >__ >__ > __ > __ > N

Here, the data is insufficient to answer the question.

Statements 1, 2 and 3 together:

L >__ >__ > __ > __ > N

J > K

Here, the data is insufficient to answer the question.

Statements 1, 2, 3 and 4 together:

J > K > O

Case 1:

L >_J_ >_K_ > _O_ > _M_ > N

Case 2:

L >_M_ >_J_ > _K_ > _O_ > N

Now, this data is also insufficient as we are unable to determine the position of M.

Hence, all the statements are insufficient to answer the question.
