Question 1
Five people F, H, I, G, and J are compared by Height and Age. i) G is older than I but shorter than H. ii) F is the tallest, but not the oldest. iii) J is older than F. iv) I is not the shortest, and H is the youngest. Who are the oldest and the shortest respectively?
Age: From (iii) J > F, and (ii) says F is not oldest, so J is oldest. Clue (iv) sets G as youngest. Also (i) gives I > H. A valid age order is J > F > G > I > H. Height: (ii) makes F tallest; (i) ensures G taller than I; (iv) H not shortest. A valid height order is F > I > H > G > J. Thus, oldest is J and shortest is J.
