Question 59

What is the rank of Kriti in increasing order of qualification?

Solution

Let us arrange the daughters in the decreasing order of height first. 

Kalpana is shorter than Kriti but taller than Kranti.
Therefore, Kriti > Kalpana > Kranti.

Kamlesh is taller than Kriti.

Kamlesh > Kriti > Kalpana > Kranti.

Kamla is taller than Kamlesh. Kamla is not the tallest. Therefore, Kripa must be the tallest person.

Kripa > Kamla > Kamlesh > Kriti > Kalpana > Kranti.

Let us arrange the daughters in terms of their qualification.

The shortest person is the most qualified. 
Therefore, Kranti must be the most qualified person among the 6 daughters. 

Kalpana is more qualified than Kamlesh who is more qualified than Kriti.

Kalpana > Kamlesh > Kriti. 

Kamla is less qualified than Kamlesh. Kriti is more qualified than Kamla. Kripa is the least qualified among the daughters. 

Kranti > Kalpana > Kamlesh > Kriti > Kamla > Kripa.

Height (in decreasing order):
Kripa > Kamla > Kamlesh > Kriti > Kalpana > Kranti.

Qualification (in decreasing order):
Kranti > Kalpana > Kamlesh > Kriti > Kamla > Kripa.

Rank of Kriti in the increasing order of qualification is 3. Therefore, option B is the right answer.
