Directions: Read the following information and give answer.A, B, C, D and E are five friends. A isishorter than B but taller than E. C is the tallest. D is shorter than B and taller than A. Who has two persons taller and two persons shorter than him/her?
Correct answer: C. D
- A. A
- B. B
- C. D
- D. C
Explanation
To solve this problem, we need to arrange the friends based on their height. Given that C is the tallest and E is the shortest, we can place them at the extremes. A is shorter than B but taller than E, so A comes between B and E. D is shorter than B but taller than A, positioning D between B and A. This arrangement gives us the order: C, B, D, A, E. Hence, D has two persons taller (B and C) and two persons shorter (A and E), making D the correct answer. Other options are incorrect because they do not fit the criteria of having exactly two people taller and two people shorter.
