Among five friends, who is the tallest ?

Statements:

1. D is taller than A and C.

2. B is shorter than E but taller than D.

  • A.1 alone is sufficient while 2 alone is not sufficient
  • B.2 alone is sufficient while 1 alone is not sufficient
  • C.Either 1 or 2 is sufficient
  • D.Both 1 and 2 are sufficient

Answer: D

Correct answer: Both 1 and 2 are sufficient

Statement 1 puts D above A and C; statement 2 puts E above B above D. Joined at D the order is E, B, D, then A and C, so E is the tallest. Statement 1 alone says nothing about B and E, and statement 2 alone says nothing about A and C, so neither can identify the tallest by itself.
