Question 184

Among people A, B, C, D, E and F, each having a different height, who is the second shortest ?
I. Only two people are taller than A. E is taller than both B and C. F is shorter than E. F is taller than C.
II. Only two people are shorter than D. A is taller than D but shorter than E. F is neither the tallest nor the shortest. B is taller than C.

Solution

Clearly, each statement alone is insufficient as there is not enough data, thus by combining both statements, we get :

Only two people are taller than A, => A is the third tallest.

Only two people are shorter than D, => D is the 4th tallest.

E is taller than both B and C. F is shorter than E, => E is the tallest.

F is taller than C and B is taller than C, => C is the shortest.

$$\therefore$$ Arrangement : E > B/F > A > D > F/B > C

Thus, we cannot find the second shortest person.

$$\therefore$$ Both statements even together are insufficient.

=> Ans - (A)
