If David is taller than Chris, Chris is shorter than Charlotte, Charlotte is as tall as Sarah, Sarah is shorter than David.

David is taller than Chris

Height of David > height of Chris.............(1)

Chris is shorter than Charlotte,

Height of Charlotte > Height of Chris .............(2)

Charlotte is as tall as Sarah

Height of Charlotte = Height of Sarah.........(3)

Sarah is shorter than David.

Height or Sarah < Height if David...............(4)

So from (1) , (2) , (3) and (4),

the correct order becomes,

From tallest to shortes t

David, Charlotte, Sarah, Chris

Answer: Chris is the shortest of all.
