Answer: Mercedes
Let us assume that in our examples there is a difference of 1 in the height of
Let X be our based height, height of Allan.
Let us also assume a difference of 1 in the heights of Claire from Allan. So if Claire is shorter, her height is X+1. If Kishan and mike is shorter than Allan, but kishan is shorter than mike, then the height of Kishan can be assumed at X+1 and the height of Mike as X+2.
X= height of Allan
X-1= height of Claire
X+2=height of mike
X+1= height of kishan
Our assumptions show that Claire is the shortest at X-1. If Mercedes is shorter than Claire, then Mercedes is the shortest.
