Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
This question was previously asked in
UPSC CAPF – 2019
1. Mohit is the tallest (M > others).
2. Sachin is shorter than Kunal but taller than Sohan (K > Sachin > Sohan).
3. Amit is little shorter than Kunal and little taller than Sachin (K > Amit > Sachin).
Combining these, we have:
– M is the tallest.
– We know K > Amit and Amit > Sachin. We also know K > Sachin and Sachin > Sohan.
Putting it all together in increasing order (shortest to tallest): Sohan < Sachin < Amit < Kunal < Mohit. If they stand in the order of increasing heights, the sequence is Sohan, Sachin, Amit, Kunal, Mohit. The third person is Amit.
