The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the information given about the heights of A, B, C, D, and E. ### Step 1: Analyze the statements 1. **A is shorter than B but taller than E.** - This means: B > A > E 2. **C is the tallest.** - This means: C > B (since B is the tallest among A, E, and D) 3. **D is shorter than B and taller than A.** - This means: B > D > A ### Step 2: Combine the information From the statements, we can summarize the relationships as follows: - From A's relationship: B > A > E - From C's relationship: C > B - From D's relationship: B > D > A Now we can combine these: - C > B > D > A > E ### Step 3: Determine who has two persons taller and two persons shorter Now we need to find out who has two persons taller and two persons shorter than them. From the order we established: - **C** has no one taller than them (only shorter). - **B** has **C** taller and **D** shorter (only one shorter). - **D** has **C** and **B** taller, and **A** and **E** shorter (two taller and two shorter). - **A** has **B** taller and **E** shorter (only one shorter). - **E** has **A** taller and no one shorter. Thus, the only person who has two persons taller and two persons shorter is **D**. ### Final Answer **D** has two persons taller (C and B) and two persons shorter (A and E). ---
