Question: Who is the tallest among six boys P, T, N, D, Q and R ?
Statements:
- P is taller than D and N but not-as tall as T.
- R is taller than Q but not as tall as T.
- Q is not taller than T and R.
Answer: Option
Explanation:
From I, we have: P > D, P > N, T > P i.e. T > P > D > N or T > P > N > D ...(i)
From II, we have: R > Q, T > R i.e. T > R > Q ...(ii)
From III, we have: T > Q, R > Q ...(iii)
Clearly, from (i) and (ii), we conclude that T is taller than each one of P, N, D, R and Q. So, T is the tallest.

All three statement is correct only. Because in all the three statement, they said that T is taller.
In the first statement, P is taller than D and N but not as T.
In second also are is taller than Q but not as T.
In third Q is not taller than T and are that also means T is taller so I think so. All three are correct only.
