A question and three statements labeled (I), (II) and (III) are given. You have to decide which statement(s) is / are sufficient to answer the question. Question: Who is the shortest among P, Q, R, S and T Statements: I. P is taller than T but shorter than S. II. Q is shorter than R but taller than T. III. S is taller than R and P is taller than Q. Select the right option from the following.?

Option 3 : Statement II and either I or III are sufficient

We have to find the shortest person,

According to the statements:-

I. P is taller than T but shorter than S → (P > T, but P < S)

II. Q is shorter than R but taller than T → (Q < R, but Q > T)

III. S is taller than R and P is taller than Q → (S > R, but P > Q)

On combining statement I and II:-

(S > P > T < Q < R)

On combining statement II and III:-

(S > R > Q > T < P )

Hence, From statements the order follows is :-

S > R > P > Q > T

Thus, the correct answer is "Statement II and either I or III are sufficient".
