    Solution

    At least two persons are taller than J. Only three persons are ranked between J and M. M is shorter than J. There will be two cases: _____ > ____ > _____ > J > _____ > ____ > _____ > ­­­­­M > _____                                                 CASE 1. _____ > ____ > _____ > _____  > J > ____ > _____ > ­­­­­_____ > M                                                 CASE 2. The number of persons, who are shorter than M is same as the number of persons, who are taller than I. _____ > I > _____ > J > _____ > ____ > _____ > ­­­­­M > _____                                                 CASE 1. I > ____ > _____ > _____  > J > ____ > _____ > ­­­­­_____ > M                                                 CASE 2. F is just shorter than L. F is just taller than H. N is taller than G, who is taller than K. K is neither sixth shortest person nor shortest person. Case 1 will get discarded as we cannot place K. _____ > I > _____ > J > L > F > H > ­­­­­M > _____                                                 CASE 1. I > L > F > H > J > N > G > K > M                                                 CASE 2. Therefore, the final arrangement is as follows: I > L > F > H > J > N > G > K > M
