Statements :

II. R is taller than S but shorter than Q.
III. P ranks third in height above S when all are arranged in the order of height.
A. Only I and II
B. Either II only or I and III only
C. Only II
D. Only II and III
E. None of these
Answer: Option B
Solution(By Examveda Team)
From the given statement, the descending order of heights is :__, Q,__, S,__.From II, we have the order: _, Q, R, S,__. Thus, R is in the middle.
From III, we have the order : P, Q,__, S,__. But, according to I, T is not the shortest.
So, R is the shortest. Thus, we have the order : P, Q, T, S, R. So, T is in the middle.
