Passage: Six persons A, B, C, D, E and F have different heights. Each person likes different colours: Red, Blue, White, Pink, Yellow and Grey. The one who likes Pink is not the tallest. The one who likes Blue is taller than C but shorter than the one who likes Pink. F is shorter than the one who likes Pink but taller than the one who likes Blue. F likes Red. B is taller than the one who likes Yellow but shorter than F. The one who likes Yellow is taller than E. A likes neither Pink nor Grey. The height of the second tallest is 150 cm and the height of the third lowest is 60 cm. Question: Which of the following statement is true regarding A?
- A likes Grey colour.
- A is taller than only B.
- A is not the tallest
- A likes White colour.
Correct answer: A likes White colour.
Solution
The height comparisons fix the relative order of all six persons. Using the colour clues, F is Red, and the positions of Pink, Blue, Yellow, and Grey are constrained. Since A is neither Pink nor Grey, the only colour left for A in the completed arrangement is White.
