    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 Megha. Monu is not the tallest person. Neither Mehak nor Monu is shorter than Megha. Manish is shorter than Manisha but not the shortest, so Mehak > Monu > Megha >  Manisha  >  Manish  > Manveer Clearly, Manisha is the 3rd shortest person. From statement II alone, as Megha is taller than Manish. Monu is not shorter than Manisha. Mehak is not shorter than Manveer, no arrangement can be formed. Data given in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question
