    Six persons P, Q, R, S, T and U have different heights.

    Who is the 4th shortest person? Statement I: Two persons are taller than P. R is not the tallest person. Neither T nor R is shorter than P. S is shorter than Q but not the shortest. Statement II: P is taller than S. R is not shorter than Q. T is not shorter than U.
    A If the data given in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B If the data given in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C If the data given in either statement I or statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D If the data given in both statement I and statement II together are sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E If the data given in both statement I and statement II together are not sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    From statement I alone, as Two persons are taller than P. R is not the tallest person. Neither T nor R is shorter than P. S is shorter than Q but not the shortest, so T > R > P > Q > S > U Clearly, P is the 4th shortest person. From statement II alone, as P is taller than S. R is not shorter than Q. T is not shorter than U, no arrangement can be formed. Data given in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question.
