Question : 1
In a shop, there was 4 dolls of different heights. A, B, C and D. D is neither as tall as A nor as short as C. B is shorter than D but taller than C. If Mani wants to purchase the tallest doll, which one should she purchase?
a) Only A
b) Only D
c) Either A or D
d) Either B or D
e) None of these

D is not as tall as A = D is shorter than A = D < A D is not as short as C = D is taller than C = D > C. B is shorter than D but taller than C = C < B < D.
Thus, we have : C < B < D < A.

Daksh is taller than Manick but not as tall as Rohan. Somesh is shorter than Daksh but taller than Farhan. Who among them is the shortest?
a) Daksh
b) Manick
c) Farhan
d) Cannot be determined
Answer »Answer: (d)
In terms of heights, we have: Rohan > Daksh > Manick, Daksh > Somesh > Farhan.

(i) Rohan > Daksh > Manick > Somesh > Farhan; or
(ii) Rohan > Daksh > Somesh > Manick > Farhan; or
(iii) Rohan > Daksh > Somesh > Farhan > Manick.

Garima is taller than Sarita but not taller than Reena. Reena and Tanya are of the same height. Garima is shorter than Anu. Amongst all the girls, who is/are the shortest?
a) Anu
b) Reena and Tanya
c) Garima
d) Sarita
Answer »Answer: (d)
Let the first letter of the name of each girl represent her height.
Then, Garima is taller than Sarita = G > S.
Garima is not taller than Reeta = R > G.
Reena and Tanya are of the same height = R = T.
Garima is shorter than Anu = A > G.
All the above indicate that Garima is either shorter than or equal in height to each of the girls except Sarita, while Sarita is shorter than Garima.
Thus, Sarita is the shortest.
