Question 1
Five people H, I, J, G, and F are compared by Height and Age. i) G is older than J but shorter than I. ii) H is the tallest, but not the oldest. iii) F is older than H. iv) J is not the shortest, and I 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 F > H > G > J > I. Height: (ii) makes F tallest; (i) ensures G taller than I; (iv) H not shortest. A valid height order is H > J > I > G > F. Thus, oldest is F and shortest is F.
