Statement II: B is not the shortest. C is taller than A.

A The data in statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement II alone are not sufficient to answer the question Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B The data in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone are not sufficient to answer the question Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C The data either in statement I alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D The data given in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
E The data in both statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

From statement I and II alone, we cannot determine the shortest person. By combining statement I and II, Now, Y is taller than W and B. X is shorter than only Z. Equal number of persons are taller and shorter than W. B is not the shortest. C is taller than A. So, we have, Z  >  X  >  Y  >  W  >  B / C  >  C / B  >  A So, A is the shortest.
