Question

Zach is taller than Matt and Richard is shorter than Zach. Which of the following statements would be most accurate?

Answer 1

The correct answer is B: that Richard is shorter than Matt.

The options of the question are:

A) Richard is taller than Matt

B) Richard is shorter than Matt

C) Richard is as tall as Matt

D) Richard is taller than Zach

E) Zach is shorter than Matt

How is the B option correct?

• As Zach is taller than Matt, so the point 'E' is eliminated.
• Now if Richard is shorter than Zach then points, then points A, C, and E are eliminated.
• Also, if Zach is shorter than Matt then it is not possible that he is taller than Zach. This way, point D is also eliminated.

Thus option B is correct.
