Q: Answer-There are eight persons P, Q, R, S, T, U, V and W with different heights. Who is third shortest pers...

From Statement I alone P is shorter than two persons. T is just shorter than V. Q is taller than P. We get many cases as we cannot fix the places of T and V. Case I Q P Case II Q P From Statement II alone U is taller than R. Q is shorter than S. T is just taller than U. W is not taller than V. We get many cases as we cannot fix their positions. T U R , S Q and V W After combining statement I and II, we get S Q P V T U RW WR So, U is the third shortest person. Therefore, data given in both statement I and statement II together are sufficient to answer the question.
