Explanation

Six friends, P, Q, R, S, T, and U, play different games. Their heights and games are related as follows:

• T (Tennis) is taller than P and S.
• Q (Football) is taller than T.
• U (Basketball) is the tallest.
• R (Volleyball) is the shortest.
• S is taller than R but shorter than P, and plays either Cricket or Badminton.
• P plays the other game, Cricket or Badminton.

In order of height, the friends are:

1. U (Basketball) - the tallest
2. Q (Football)
3. T (Tennis)
4. P (Cricket/Badminton)
5. S (Badminton/Cricket)
6. R (Volleyball) - the shortest

So S is taller than R but shorter than P.

Hence S is the correct answer.
