Question

Among the five girls, Neha is taller than Radha but shorter than Anu. Radha is shorter than Anju but taller than Poonam. Tell who is the smallest of the five?
1. Anu
2. Radha
3. Poonam
4. Anju

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : Poonam

Neha is taller than Radha but shorter than Anu.

Anu > Neha > Radha 

Radha is shorter than Anju but taller than Poonam.

Anju > Radha > Poonam

From both the statements, we have:

Case I: Anu > Neha > Anju > Radha > Poonam

Case II: Anu > Anju > Neha > Radha > Poonam

Case III: Anju > Anu > Neha > Radha > Poonam

From all the possible cases, it is clear that Poonam is the shortest.

Hence, ‘Poonam’ is the correct answer.
