(D) Data inadequate​

Answer 1

Required Answer:-

Given in the question, the sequence of people with certain heights. There are five people: P, Q, R, S, T

Statements:

• Q is shorter than only T.
• S is shorter than P and Q$.$

Conclusions:

Q is shorter than only T means T is the tallest and Q is the 2nd tallest of all. Now, three people are left.

S is shorter than P and Q. No evidence about P and Q's height but don't need it. S is shorter than both, P and Q's heights comes in between heights of T, Q and S.

Hence, S is the shortest (B)

Note:-

• The heights of P and Q has no relation as given in the question, Hence I have consider them as of same height.
• Always focus on what's to find in the Q.

Answer 2

$\huge\bf{Answer}$ :- R

Step by step explanation:-

Given ,

P, Q, R, S, T have different heights

Q is shorter than T

Q<T = T>Q

T,S shorter than P,Q

T > Q > P > S

Since R is remaining So, R will be shortest

Since,

T > Q> P> S>R

Hence R is the shortest
