Analyzing the Height Comparisons
This problem requires us to compare the heights of several individuals based on given statements. We need to deduce the relationship between Meghna's height and Shaloo's height.
Breaking Down the Statements
Let's represent the height comparisons using symbols, where '>' means 'taller than' and '=' means 'as tall as'.
- "Shaloo is taller than Rakhi" can be written as: Shaloo > Rakhi
- "Shaloo is shorter than Prerna" means Prerna is taller than Shaloo: Prerna > Shaloo
- "Rakhi is as tall as Meghna" can be written as: Rakhi = Meghna
- "Rakhi is taller than Komal" can be written as: Rakhi > Komal
Establishing the Height Order
Now, let's combine these facts to establish a relative height order:
- From Shaloo > Rakhi and Rakhi = Meghna, we know that Shaloo must be taller than Meghna. We can write this as: Shaloo > Meghna.
- We also know Rakhi > Komal. Since Rakhi = Meghna, it implies Meghna > Komal.
- Combining the information about Shaloo, Rakhi, Meghna, and Komal:
- Shaloo > Rakhi
- Rakhi = Meghna
- Rakhi > Komal
- We were also given Prerna > Shaloo.
- Therefore, the complete height order, from tallest to shortest among those mentioned, is: Prerna > Shaloo > Rakhi = Meghna > Komal.
Determining Meghna's Height Relative to Shaloo
Looking at the established order, specifically the relationship between Shaloo and Meghna:
Shaloo > Meghna
This inequality clearly shows that Shaloo is taller than Meghna. Consequently, Meghna is shorter than Shaloo.
Conclusion
Based on the logical deduction from the given statements, Meghna is shorter than Shaloo.
