III. Q is not taller than T and R.

Options:

E) None of the above
Solution:
From I, we have: 
P > D, P > N, T > P i.e. T > P > D > N or T > P > N > D ______(i)
From II, we have: 
R > Q, T > R i.e. T > R > Q ___(ii)
From III, we have: 
T > Q, R > Q _____(iii)
Clearly, from (i) and (ii), we conclude that T is taller than each one of P, N, D, R and Q. So, T is the tallest.
