Six persons — P, Q, R, S, T and U — have different heights. S is the tallest. Q is taller than only two of the six persons. P is taller than T but shorter than R. U is shorter than T. Who is the shortest among them?

Question

Accepted Answer

U. S is tallest. Q taller than exactly two means Q is 4th tallest. P taller than T but shorter than R gives R>P>T, and U shorter than T. The full order (tallest to shortest) is S>R>P>Q>T>U, so U is the shortest.
