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.
