Answer: Option A
Solution
Answer: Option A
Solution:
From I, we have: P > D, P > N, T > P i.e. T > P > D > N or T > P > N > D ...(i)From II, we have: R > Q, T > R i.e. T > R > Q ...(ii)
From III, we have: T > Q, R > Q ...(iii)
Clearly, from (i) and (ii), we conclude that T is taller than each one of P, N, D, R and Q. So, T is the tallest.
