A. Leonard is taller than Nick

b Leonard is taller than John

c Kris is shorter than Leonard

d John is taller than Mario

"John is taller than Mario" is the correct statement (option d)

Given:

John is taller than Kris.

Leonard is taller than Mario.

Mario is shorter than Nick.

Kris and Nick are of equal height.

To Find:

The correct among the following options.

Solution:

First, let us choose the statement which is not very complicated.

Kris and Nick being equal in height, we can state that, Kris=Nick.

Now, Mario is shorter than Nick,

That means, Nick > Mario.

Thus the whole thing becomes, Kris=Nick> Mario.

Now, Mario's height is low than Leonard's, which means Leonard > Mario.

Thus the whole thing becomes, Kris=Nick > Leonard >Mario.

Now,

at last, Kris is shorter than John, which means, John > Kris.

Thus the final thing becomes,

"John > Kris = Nick > Leonard >Mario"

or,

John > Mario

This implies that John is very much taller than Mario.

Thus option d is the correct option.
