E is not the tallest one among them. C is not the shortest. Neither E nor B is 170 cm. Who among them is the tallest one and what will be his probable height? Correct Answer A, 180 cm

1) E is taller than D.

2) B is taller than C but shorter than A

3) E is not the tallest one among them.

4) C is not the shortest.

Case 1: A > B > C > E > D

Case 3: A > B > E > C > D

5) The third tallest person is 170 cm tall while fourth shortest is 177 cm.

6) Neither E nor B is 170 cm.

This eliminates case 2 and case 3.
