Daksh is taller than Manick but not as tall as Rohan. Somesh is shorter than Daksh but taller than Farhan. Who among them is the shortest?
Answer: Option D
Answer: (d)
In terms of heights, we have: Rohan > Daksh > Manick, Daksh > Somesh > Farhan.
Thus, the whole sequence may be :
(i) Rohan > Daksh > Manick > Somesh > Farhan; or
(ii) Rohan > Daksh > Somesh > Manick > Farhan; or
(iii) Rohan > Daksh > Somesh > Farhan > Manick.
Thus, either Manick or Farhan may be the shortest.
So, the given information is insufficient.
