Write the sequence vertically from tallest to shortest; the name that appears at the bottom without anyone below it is the shortest.
Establish the individual relationships
From the problem: 1) Vinay > Hansika, 2) Hansika > Abhay, 3) Aalok > Ashok, 4) Ashok > Vinay.
Combine the inequalities into a single chain
Connecting the chains: Aalok > Ashok > Vinay > Hansika > Abhay. This creates the full hierarchy: Aalok > Ashok > Vinay > Hansika > Abhay.
Identify the extreme
Looking at the final chain, Aalok is the tallest and Abhay is at the very end of the hierarchy, making him the shortest.
A: Ashok is 2nd in the height chain from the top, not the shortest. B: Hansika is 4th in the sequence, taller than only Abhay. C: Aalok is the tallest person in the group.
D is correct because based on the combined sequence Aalok > Ashok > Vinay > Hansika > Abhay, Abhay is at the bottom of the hierarchy.
In ranking questions, always look for the connecting link (a common person appearing in two statements) to merge multiple fragments into one continuous line.
