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