I thought

Answer 2

Given,

1. Meera is shorter than Radha, but taller than Geetanjali
2. Kamala is taller than Meera

To find,

Who is the tallest?

Solution,

There are four students-  Radha, Meera, Kam, Geetanjali.

1. Meera is shorter than Radha, but taller than Geetanjali.

We can say that,

Radha > Meera > Geetanjali

2. Kamala is taller than Meera

We can say that,

Kamala > Meera

From statements 1. and 2., we get two cases.

Radha > Kamala > Meera > Geetanjali

or

Kamala > Radha > Meera > Geetanjali

Hence, either Radha or Kamala is the tallest in the students of class V.
