The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the given statements and determine the height order of P, Q, R, S, and T. ### Step 1: Analyze the statements 1. **P is taller than Q**: This means P > Q. 2. **R is shorter than P**: This means R < P. 3. **S is taller than T but shorter than Q**: This means T < S < Q. ### Step 2: Establish the relationships From the statements, we can establish the following relationships: - From statement 1: P > Q - From statement 2: R < P - From statement 3: T < S < Q ### Step 3: Combine the relationships Now, we can combine these relationships to find the order: - Since P > Q and R < P, we know that R is shorter than both P and Q. - From S being shorter than Q but taller than T, we can say T < S < Q. ### Step 4: Determine the tallest person Now we can summarize the relationships: - P > Q > S > T - R is shorter than P, so R is also shorter than Q, S, and T. Thus, the order from tallest to shortest is: 1. P (tallest) 2. Q 3. S 4. T 5. R (shortest) ### Conclusion The tallest among them is **P**.
