\nLet’s represent the heights:
\n1. Mohit is the tallest (M > others).
\n2. Sachin is shorter than Kunal but taller than Sohan (K > Sachin > Sohan).
\n3. Amit is little shorter than Kunal and little taller than Sachin (K > Amit > Sachin).
\nCombining these, we have:
\n– M is the tallest.
\n– We know K > Amit and Amit > Sachin. We also know K > Sachin and Sachin > Sohan.
\nPutting it all together in increasing order (shortest to tallest): Sohan < Sachin < Amit < Kunal < Mohit.\nIf they stand in the order of increasing heights, the sequence is Sohan, Sachin, Amit, Kunal, Mohit. The third person is Amit.\n<\/section>\n
\nThis is a logic puzzle requiring careful analysis of relative comparisons to establish a complete order.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThe phrasing “little shorter” and “little taller” are qualitative descriptions but confirm the relative positions established by the inequalities (K > Amit and Amit > Sachin). The core task is to sequence the five individuals based on the given pairwise comparisons.
