If Tom is taller than Mary ,and Mary is taller than Ann ,who was the shortest ?
right. But the concept is to put something down on paper so you cn see what is happening.
I don't do this my verbal but I must draw a picture. Tom is taller than Mary so
........Tom
........Mary
Then Mary is taller than Ann so Ann must go below Mary like this.
........Tom
........Mary
........Ann
So who is the shortest?
Based on the information provided, if Tom is taller than Mary and Mary is taller than Ann, then Ann would be the shortest among the three individuals.
To determine who was the shortest among Tom, Mary, and Ann, you need to compare their heights. The given information states that Tom is taller than Mary, and Mary is taller than Ann.
Since Tom is taller than Mary, we can infer that Tom is not the shortest among the three.
However, the question does not provide enough information to determine if Mary is taller than Ann or vice versa. Therefore, we cannot definitively say who the shortest person is between Mary and Ann based on the given information.
