Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Convert each statement into a height comparison (taller > shorter) and merge them into a single chain.
Statement 1: "Ravi is shorter than Kartik but taller than Gagan and Tarun" → Kartik > Ravi > Gagan, Tarun.
Statement 1 (continued): "…Gagan and Tarun, who are taller than Saksham" → Gagan, Tarun > Saksham.
Statement 2: "Sunil is taller than Aarav but shorter than Saksham" → Saksham > Sunil > Aarav.
Combined chain (tallest → shortest): Kartik > Ravi > Gagan/Tarun > Saksham > Sunil > Aarav.
Kartik sits at the top of the chain, so Kartik is the tallest of all.
