Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions
In a group of six friends, P is taller than Q but shorter than R. S is shorter than T but taller than P. Who is the tallest?
Step 1: Identify the relationships between the heights of the friends based on the information given.
Step 2: From the statement 'P is taller than Q but shorter than R', we can write: R > P > Q.
Step 3: From the statement 'S is shorter than T but taller than P', we can write: T > S > P.
Step 4: Now we combine the information: R > P > Q and T > S > P.
Step 5: Since S is taller than P and T is taller than S, we can conclude that T is taller than S and P.
Step 6: We also know that R is taller than P, but we need to compare R and T.
Step 7: Since T is taller than S and S is taller than P, we need to check if T is taller than R.
Step 8: Since we have no direct comparison between R and T, but we know T is taller than S and S is taller than P, we can conclude that T must be the tallest among all.
