Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Niti.
According to given information,
Seven friends: Haroon, Iman, Jason, Kirti, Lisa, Mohan, and Niti
The tallest person stands at the front and the shortest person stands at the last of the column.
1) Iman is standing in the second position from the front.
__ > Imran > __ > __ > __ > __ > __
2) Haroon stands immediately behind Lisa, who stands immediately behind Kirti (Kirti > Lisa > Haroon)
3) Mohan is not the tallest. There are exactly two people standing in between Mohan and Niti.
From above, we get:
Niti > Imran > __ > Mohan > Kirti > Lisa > Haroon
So, Jason will sit at the remaining place.
Niti > Imran > Jason > Mohan > Kirti > Lisa > Haroon
Thus, 'Niti' is standing at the front of the column.
Hence, the correct answer is Niti.
