Question

    Answer the questions based on the information given

    below: Seven poles M, N, O, P, Q, R and S have different lengths. M is longer than R. P is shorter than M. N is longer than P. Only Q is longer than M. Three poles are shorter than R. At least two poles are shorter than P. O is not the shortest pole. If the length of 2nd shortest pole is 30m and R is 44m, what is the probable length of N?
    A 29m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 32m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 49m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 35m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    As M is longer than R. P is shorter than M. N is longer than P. Only Q is longer than M. Three poles are shorter than R. At least two poles are shorter than P. O is not the shortest pole, so Q > M > N > R > P > O > S N is longer than R, so the probable length of N is 49m.
