Question 3 Answer (4)
Question 4 Answer (4)
Question 5 Answer (3)
Clearly Farooq is heavier than Bubblo and Chitranjan but shorter than Aurbindo
Explanation:
In terms of height, we have
B<F,C<F,C<D,E<D,F<E,A<E,F <A.
So, C < F < E < D, B < F, F < A < E
Thus, the sequence becomes
B,C<C<F<A<E<D or B,C<F<A<E<D
In terms of weight, we have
A< B, A < C, B < D, D < F.
So, A < B < D < F, A < C.
Thus the sequence becomes A<C<B<D<F or A<B<C<D<F or A<B<D<C<F.
Q1. Explanation: Clearly, Dwarka is the tallest
Q2. Explanation: The descending order of height is
D>E>A>F>B>C or D>E>A>F>C>B.
Clearly, A is third from the top.
