Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Reasoning:
Kamal is the tallest, so Kamal is position 1.
Lata is the shortest, so Lata is position 5.
Prem is the second shortest, so Prem is position 4.
Rashmi is shorter than Kamal but taller than Vandana and Prem. Since Prem is position 4 and Lata is position 5, the remaining positions are 2 and 3; Rashmi must be above Vandana, so Rashmi takes position 2 and Vandana takes position 3.
Final order from tallest to shortest: Kamal, Rashmi, Vandana, Prem, Lata.
Therefore the third tallest person is Vandana.
