type 5 comparison puzzles Detailed Explanation And More Example

Answer: (d)

In terms of heights, we have: Rohan > Daksh > Manick, Daksh > Somesh > Farhan.

Thus, the whole sequence may be :

(i) Rohan > Daksh > Manick > Somesh > Farhan; or

(ii) Rohan > Daksh > Somesh > Manick > Farhan; or

(iii) Rohan > Daksh > Somesh > Farhan > Manick.

Thus, either Manick or Farhan may be the shortest.

So, the given information is insufficient.

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.

Answer: (b)

Clearly, A is shorter than each one of C and E.

Thus, D is taller than each one of A, C, and E.

But, B is taller than D.

So, B is the tallest and D comes next.

Answer: (d)

We have : E > A > B, A < D < B.

Since C is the tallest,

so we have : E < A < D < B < C.

Clearly, D lies in the middle.

Answer: (d)

From (i) and (ii), we have : K > M > A > S.

This indicates both K > S and S < M which are given in (iii) and (iv).

Thus, both (iii) and (iv) are superfluous.

Answer: (c)

Agewise, Muskan is in the middle.
