Who amongst H, I, J, K and L is the second shortest?

I. H is taller than I, L is not the tallest.

II. J is taller than H. K is not the tallest.

Explanation:

Form statement I:
Reference:
H is taller than I, L is not the tallest.
H > I, L is not the tallest.
Hence, statement I is not sufficient to answer the question.
From statement II:
Reference:
J is taller than H. K is not the tallest.
J > H, K is not the tallest.
Hence, statement II is not sufficient to answer the question.
Combining both the statements, we get:
J > H > I > K > L or J > H > I > L > K, Hence, two cases are possible, so either L or K can be second shortest.
Hence, the correct answer would be ‘both the statements are not sufficient to answer the question’.
