There are six people L, M, N, P, Q and R each having different heights, N is taller than Q and P, but shorter than M. P is taller only to Q while R is shorter only from L. From the given options choose the one that shows the pair of tallest and shortest person in group. Correct Answer L and Q

People -  L, M, N, P, Q and R each having different heights.

1. N is taller than Q and P, but shorter than M.

M > N > Q and M > N > P

2. P is taller only to Q while R is shorter only from L.

L > R > _ > _ > P > Q

From both the statements 1 and 2, we have:

L > R > M > N > P > Q

Clearly, L is the tallest and Q is the shortest person in group.

Hence, ‘L and Q’ is the correct answer.
