Statement II: 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. 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.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.
