(iii) D is heavier than B and taller than C.

(iv) E is shorter than D but taller than F.

(v) F is heavier than D.

(vi) A is shorter than E but taller than F.

1. Who among them is the tallest ?

Answer : D is the tallest

Explanation : 

In terms of height, we have :

B < F, C < F, C < D, E < D, F < E, A < E, F < A.

So, C < F < E < D, B < F, F < A < E

Thus, the sequence becomes :

B < C < F < A < E < D or C < B < F < A < E < D.

2. Who is third from the top when they are arranged in descending order of heights ?

Answer : A is third from the top when they are arranged in descending order of heights

Explanation : 

The descending order of height is :

D > E > A > F > B > C or D > E > A > F > C > B.

Clearly, A is third from the top.

3.Which of the following groups of friends is shorter than A ?

A. B, C only

B. D, B, C only

C. E, B, C only

D. F, B, C only

Answer : D. F, B, C only

Explanation : 

the sequence in terms of height is 

B < C < F < A < E < D or C < B < F < A < E < D.

Clearly, F, B and C are shorter than A.
