Who among U V W X and Z is shortest I W is shorter than V and equal to X Z is not taller than U V II...........

Logical Reasoning(Master ) Data Sufficiency

Who among U, V, W, X and Z is shortest ?

I.W is shorter than V and equal to X, Z is not taller than U,V

II.X is taller than Z and equal to W. V and U are not shorter than W

If the data in statement I alone is sufficient

If the data in statement II alone is sufficient

If the data either in statement I alone or statement II alone is sufficient to answer

If the data in both the statements I and II together is necessary to answer

- Statement I: W is shorter than V and equal to X. Z is not taller than U.

- W = X < V.

- Z = U.

- Statement II: X is taller than Z and equal to W. V and U are not shorter than W.

- X = W > Z.

- V, U = W.

- Combining both statements:

- From Statement I and II, Z is the only person whose height is not taller than anyone else.

- Since X = W and X > Z, Z is shorter.

- Option 1: Insufficient with Statement I alone.

- Option 2: Sufficient with Statement II alone to conclude Z is shortest. ?

- Option 3: Incorrect, as statement I is insufficient alone.

- Option 4: Not needed to combine, Statement II suffices.

Therefore, Statement II alone is sufficient, so option 2 is correct.
