Option 4 : Pratiksha is shorter than Om. 

According to the given statements, we can arrange them in the order of their heights.

So,

Statement 1: Om is taller than Akash

Om > Akash 

Statement 2: Shraddha is not taller than Om

Om > Shraddha

Statement 3: Pratiksha is shorter than Shraddha

Shraddha > Pratiksha

From the above statements there are three cases:

Case (1): Om > Akash > Shraddha > Pratiksha

Case (2): Om > Shraddha > Akash > Pratiksha

or,

Case (3): Om > Shraddha > Pratiksha > Akash

Now, we check each option:

Option (1): 

Akash is taller than Pratiksha → False (Because from the conclusion(1) and (2) we can see Akash is taller than Pratiksha but in conclusion(3) Akash is shorter than Pratiksha. so it is possible but not definite )

Option (2): 

Akash is the shortest → False (Because from the conclusion(3) we can see Akash is the shortest but from the conclusion (1) and (2) we see Pratiksha is the shortest. so, it is possible but not definite )

Option (3): 

Shraddha is shorter than Akash → False (Because from the conclusion (2) and (3) we can see Shraddha is taller than Akash but in conclusion (1) we see Shraddha is shorter than Akash. so it is possible but not definite.)

Option (4):

Pratiksha is shorter than Om → True (Because from all three conclusions we can see that Om is the tallest among all. so it is definite that Pratiksha is shorter than Om)

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".
