    Question

    The question given below consists of two statements

    numbered I and II below them. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statements are sufficient to answer the question. Read all the statements and give answer: Five persons R, S, T, U and V have different heights. Who among the following is third tallest? Statement I: U is taller than R and shorter than S. S is shorter than T. Statement II: T is not the tallest but taller than U.
    A The data in statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement II alone are not sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B The data in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone are not sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C The data either in statement I alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D The data given in both statements I and II together is sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    From statement I alone, only the order of S, D, C, A can be determined (T > S > U > R, in descending order of their height) From statement II alone, only T is not the tallest can be determined. Using both statement I and II, V is tallest and thus, S is the third tallest person. So, the order is V > T > S > U > R. The data given in both statements I and II together is sufficient to answer the question.
