Question and options
Priyanka is taller than Mansi. Swetha is taller than Hamsi. Hamsi is taller than Kanchan. Mansi and Kanchan are of the same height. Which of the following must be true?
- Swetha is taller than Kanchan
- Priyanka is taller than Hamsi
- Swetha is taller than Priyanka
- Mansi is taller than Swetha
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A - Swetha is taller than Kanchan
Swetha > Hamsi > Kanchan, so Swetha > Kanchan must hold. Priyanka > Mansi = Kanchan says nothing about Priyanka versus Hamsi or Swetha, so the claims 'Priyanka is taller than Hamsi', 'Swetha is taller than Priyanka' and 'Mansi is taller than Swetha' are not certain.
