Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In a group of friends, A is taller than B but shorter than C. D is shorter than A but taller than E. Who is the tallest among them?
  • Step 1: Identify the height relationships given in the question.
  • Step 2: A is taller than B, which means A > B.
  • Step 3: A is shorter than C, which means C > A.
  • Step 4: From steps 2 and 3, we can conclude that C is taller than A and A is taller than B, so C > A > B.
  • Step 5: D is shorter than A, which means D < A.
  • Step 6: D is taller than E, which means D > E.
  • Step 7: From step 5, we know D is shorter than A, and from step 6, we know D is taller than E, so we have A > D > E.
  • Step 8: Now we combine all the information: C > A > D > E and C > A > B.
  • Step 9: Since C is taller than A, and A is taller than both B and D, we conclude that C is the tallest among them.
