F is neither the fourth shortest nor third shortest person. F is shorter than D. M is not the shortest. The question given below consists of two statements numbered I and II given below it. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statements are sufficient to answer the question. Read all the statements and answer the question.

    B Data given in statement I and II together is necessary to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Data given either in statement I alone or in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Data given in statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question while the data given in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    From statement I alone, Height of B is more than A. The number of persons taller than B is same as the number of persons shorter than A. E is taller than G but shorter than B. D is taller than F, who is shorter than B. D is taller than B. C is just shorter than F. E is not the fifth shortest person.

    We get:

    D(tallest) > B > F > C > E > A > G(shortest)


    So, from statement I alone, we get D and B are taller than F.

    So, data given in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question.

    From statement II alone, At most three persons are taller than C. C is shorter than D and B. E is just taller than A. F taller than A but shorter than B. F is neither the fourth shortest nor third shortest person. F is shorter than D. M is not the shortest. We get:

    D/B(tallest) > B/D > F > C > E > A > G(shortest)

    So, from statement II alone, we get D and B are taller than F.

    So, data given in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.

    Therefore, data given either in statement I alone or in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.
