Who among them plays chess?
Height Ranks and Game Assignment
We need to determine the height order and game played by each member.
- Clue 1: "A is shorter than only two members" implies A is the 3rd tallest. Height Rank = 3. A plays Football.
- Clue 2: The tallest member (Rank 1) plays Chess.
- Clue 4: E plays Tennis. E is not the shortest (Rank 5).
- Clue 3: B is taller than E but shorter than D. This gives the height order: D > B > E.
Step-by-step Deductions:
- Based on A's rank, the height order is (1, 2, A=3, 4, 5).
- E plays Tennis and is not Rank 5. E cannot be Rank 1 or 2 because D > B > E. E cannot be Rank 3 as A occupies it. Therefore, E must be Rank 4.
- Height(E) = 4. Game(E) = Tennis.
- Since D > B > E (Rank 4), D and B must be the remaining ranks 1 and 2. As D > B, D must be Rank 1 and B must be Rank 2.
- The final height order is: D (Rank 1), B (Rank 2), A (Rank 3), E (Rank 4). The remaining member, C, must be Rank 5.
| Height Rank | Member | Game |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Tallest) | D | Chess |
| 2 | B | Cricket/Volley ball |
| 3 | A | Football |
| 4 | E | Tennis |
| 5 (Shortest) | C | Volley ball/Cricket |
Chess Player Identification
According to Clue 2, the tallest member plays Chess.
From the deduced height order, member D is the tallest (Rank 1).
Therefore, D plays chess.
