The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the height relationships between the five friends: A, B, C, D, and E. ### Step 1: Analyze the given information 1. A is shorter than B but taller than E. - This gives us the order: E < A < B 2. C is the tallest. - So, C > A, C > B, C > E 3. D is shorter than B and taller than A. - This gives us the order: A < D < B ### Step 2: Combine the information From the information we have: - From A < B and A < D < B, we can combine these: - E < A < D < B - Since C is the tallest, we can place C at the top: - E < A < D < B < C ### Step 3: Determine the height order Now we can summarize the height order: 1. E (shortest) 2. A 3. D 4. B 5. C (tallest) ### Step 4: Identify 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: - E has A and D taller, but only has A shorter. - A has E shorter and D taller, but only has E shorter. - D has A shorter and B taller, but only has A shorter. - B has D and A shorter, but only has D shorter. - C has all others (E, A, D, B) shorter. The only person who has two persons taller and two persons shorter is **D**. ### Final Answer D has two persons taller (B and C) and two persons shorter (A and E). ---
