Now, from statement I, F is taller than G and I. J is taller than H, who is taller than F. Neither G nor I is the shortest. So, we have, J H F GI IG K So, J is the tallest. Therefore, statement I alone is sufficient. Now, from statement II, Number of persons taller than H is equal to number of persons shorter than I. F is the 3rd tallest. K is the shortest. J is taller than G. So, we have, J HI F G IH K So, J is the tallest. Therefore, statement II alone is sufficient.
