Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Kanan.
The logic follows here is:
There are six friends Kushal, Keshav, Kishan, Kamal, Kanan, and Kishore each having different heights.
I Keshav is taller than only three other friends.
2. Kishan is shorter than Kushal only.
→ Kushal>Kishan>Keshav>>>_•
3. Kishore is taller than Kamal only.
→ Kushal>Kishan> Keshav>_ >Kishore >Kamal.
Therefore, the final order of six friends as per their height is as follows:
= Kushal > Kishan > Keshav > Kanan > Kishore > Kamal.
From the above arrangement, it is clear that Kanan is the third shortest among all the friends.
| Order | Name |
| 1 | Kushal |
| 2 | Kishan |
| 3 | Keshav |
| 4 | Kanan |
| 5 | Kishore |
| 6 | Kamal |
