 1.  Ahmed is taller than Salim. Salim is not as tall as Ahmed but taller than Akbar. Sohan too is not as tall as Salim but taller than Akbar. Who is the tallest ?

(a) Salim

(b) Akbar

(c) Ahmed    (ANS)

(d) Sohan

Hints & Solutions :  At first we arrange the given information's and arrange boys in the descending order of height :

(i)   Ahmed is taller than Salim.

      i.e.,  Ahmed > Salim → (i)

(ii)  Salim is not as tall as Ahmed but taller than Akbar.

     i.e.,  Ahmed > Salim > Akbar  → (ii)

(iii)  Sohan too is not as tall as Salim but taller than Akbar. 

     i.e.,  Ahmed > Salim > Sohan > Akbar

Hence, Ahmed is the tallest.

2.  The cricket ball is heavier than the hockey ball and volleyball is lighter than the football.  Hockey ball is heavier than the football and tennis ball.  Which of the following is the heaviest ball ?

3.   Shrikant is shorter than Nilima.  Pratima is taller than Shrikant.  Subhash is taller than Nilima but shorter than Heramb.  Nilima is taller than Pratima. Who will be in the middle if they stand in a row according to descending order of height ?

(a) Pratima

(b) Subhash

(c) Shrikant

(d) Nilima    (ANS)

Hints & Solutions :  At first we arrange the row in descending order,

(i)    Shrikant is shorter than Nilima.

       Nilima > Shrikant → (i)

(ii)   Pratima is taller than Shrikant.

       Pratima > Shrikant → (ii)

(iii)  Subhash is taller than Nilima but shorter than Heramb.

       i.e., Heramb > Subhash > Nilima  → (iii)

(iv)  Nilima is taller than pratima

       i.e.,  Nilima > Pratima → (iv)

From (i),(ii),(iii) and (iv),the order is

Heramb > Subhash > Nilima > Pratima > Shrikant.

Hence, Nilima is in the middle.

4.  If Anita is taller than Surjit but shorter than Kusum and Surjit is just as tall as Kalpana but taller than Vanita, then Kalpana is

(a) just as tall as Anita

(b) taller than Kusum

(c) shorter than Anita   (ANS)  

(d) shorter than Surjit

Hints & Solutions :   At first we arrange the given information's in the descending order.

(i)  Anita is taller than Surjit but shorter than Kusum.

      i.e.,  Kusum >  Anita >  Surjit → (i)

(ii)  Surjit is just as tall as kalpana but taller than Vanita.

      i.e.,  Surjit = Kalpana  >  Vanita → (ii)

From (i) and (ii)  the order will be,  Kusum >  Anita > Surjit = Kalpana  >  Vanita

Hence, Kalpana is shorter than Anita.

5.  Among five friends, Mohan is older than Raju but not as old as Lalit.  Lalit is older than Neelesh and Kabir. Neelesh is younger than Raju but not the youngest.  Who is the fourth in the descending order of age ?

6.  A, B, C, D, and E are five rivers.  A is shorter than B but longer than E. C is the longest and D is little shorter than B and little longer than A.  Which is the shortest river ?

(a) B

(b) C

(c) D

(d) E    (ANS)  

Hints & Solutions :  At first we arrange the given information's in the descending order of length.

(i)  A is shorter than B but longer than E.

      i.e.,  B > A > E → (i)

(ii)  C is the longest and D is little shorter than B and little longer than A

      i.e.,  C > B > D > A  → (ii)

From (i) and (ii) we can write the order :

     C > B > D > A > E

Hence,  E is the shortest river.

7.  Shyam is taller than Pradeep and Pradeep is equal to Anurag.  But Anand is smaller than Suresh who is equal to Anurag.  If Pradeep is taller than praveen, who is the tallest of all ?

(a) Pradeep

(b) Praveen

(d) Shyam     (ANS)  

Hints & Solutions :   At first we arrange the given information's in the descending order of height.

(i)  Shyam is taller than Pradeep who is equal to Anurag.

     i.e.,   Shyam > Pradeep = Anurag → (i)

(ii)  Anand is smaller than Suresh, who is equal to Anurag

     i.e.,   Suresh = Anurag > Anand → (ii)

(iii)  Pradeep is taller than praveen

     i.e.,   Pradeep > Praveen → (iii)

From (i),(ii) and (iii).

Hence,  Shyam is the tallest of all.
