Answer: Option B
Explanation:
From the given statement, the descending
order of heights is :__, Q,__, S,__.
From II, we have the order: _, Q, R, S,__.
Thus, R is in the middle.
From III, we have the order : P, Q,__, S,__.
But, according to I, T is not the shortest.
So, R is the shortest. Thus, we have the
order : P, Q, T, S, R. So, T is in the middle.
