Five friends - Deepu, Sonu, Tinku, Guddu and Innu.

1. Innu is taller than Tinku.

Innu > Tinku

2. Among all, Tinku comes exactly in the middle on the basis of height.

Case I: ____ > Innu > Tinku > _____ > _____ 

or

Case II: Innu > _____ > Tinku > _____ > _____ 

3. Guddu is shortest among all.

Case I: ____ > Innu > Tinku > _____ > Guddu

or

Case II: Innu > _____ > Tinku > _____ > Guddu

4. Sonu is taller than Tinku but not the tallest in the group.

The above condition cannot be satisfied in Case I, so it is eliminated.

Case II: Innu > Sonu > Tinku > _____ > Guddu

As Deepu is the only person left, Deepu will occupy the vacant position.

So, the final arrangement will be as shown below:

Innu > Sonu > Tinku > Deepu > Guddu

Clearly, Deepu comes at the 2nd position starting from the shortest to tallest.

Hence, ‘Deepu’ is the correct answer.
