Question

N is more intelligent than M. M is not as intelligent as Y. X is more intelligent than V but not as intelligent as N. Who is the most intelligent of all?
1. Y or N
2. M
3. N
4. X

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : Y or N

1) N is more intelligent than M.

⇒ N > M

2) M is not as intelligent as Y.

⇒ M > Y or M < Y

3) X is more intelligent than V but not as good as N.

⇒ N > X > V

On combining all three statements, we get:

N > M; Y > M or M > Y; N > X > V

M, X, V are definitely not the most intelligent people. Also, if Y is more intelligent M then in that case there are three possibilities:

Case I: N > Y

Case II: N < Y

Case III: N = Y

Hence, either Y or N is the most intelligent person.
