If Aman is 5 cm taller than Bipin; Bipin is 3 cm taller than Chetan, and Chetan is 4 cm taller than Deepak, who is the shortest among them ?
Deepak
Take Deepak's height as h.
Chetan = h + 4 cm; Bipin = Chetan + 3 = h + 7 cm; Aman = Bipin + 5 = h + 12 cm.
Order from tallest to shortest: Aman (h + 12) > Bipin (h + 7) > Chetan (h + 4) > Deepak (h). Check: each of the other three is taller than Deepak by 4, 7 and 12 cm, so no one is shorter than him.
Hence, Deepak.
