P, Q, R, S, T, U and V are seven boys. Height of U and V are equal. P is shorter than Q but taller than R. S is shorter than P but taller than R. T is shorter than Q but taller than P. U is taller than Q. How many boys are taller than P?

P, Q, R, S, T, U and V are seven boys. Height of U and V are equal. P is shorter than Q but taller than R. S is shorter than P but taller than R. T is shorter than Q but taller than P. U is taller than Q. How many boys are taller than P? Correct Answer 4

According to given information, we have the possible arrangements as follows:

1). P is shorter than Q but taller than R

Q > P > R

2). S is shorter than P but taller than R

P > S > R

3). T is shorter than Q but taller than P.

4). U is taller than the Q and height of U and V are equal.

U = V > Q > T > P

After combining all the arrangements, we get:

U = V > Q > T > P > S > R

Here, there are total 4 boys that are taller than P, are U, V, Q and T.

Hence, "4" is the correct answer.
