This question was previously asked in
RRB NTPC 2019 CBT 1 Question Paper (8-Mar-2021) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is
shorter than Sohan

Height Relationships Defined

Let's break down the height comparisons step-by-step:

  • Sohan is taller than Mohan: Sohan > Mohan
  • Sohan is shorter than Geeta: Geeta > Sohan
  • Mohan is as tall as Meghna: Mohan = Meghna
  • Mohan is taller than Komal: Mohan > Komal

Deducing Meghna's Height

Combine the established relationships:

  • From Geeta > Sohan and Sohan > Mohan, we get: Geeta > Sohan > Mohan.
  • Since Mohan = Meghna, we can substitute: Geeta > Sohan > Mohan = Meghna.
  • We also know Mohan > Komal, which means Meghna > Komal.

From Geeta > Sohan > Meghna, it's clear that Sohan is taller than Meghna.

Therefore, Meghna is shorter than Sohan.

Final Comparison

Comparing Meghna to the options:

  • Meghna is shorter than Geeta (Correct, since Geeta > Sohan > Meghna).
  • Meghna is taller than Komal (Correct, since Meghna = Mohan > Komal).
  • Meghna is not shorter than Mohan (Incorrect, since Meghna = Mohan).
  • Meghna is shorter than Sohan (Correct, since Sohan > Meghna).

The question asks what Meghna *is*. Based on the deductions, Meghna is shorter than Sohan.
