Can’t be determined

Why this answer is correct

Given: Six pencils, P, L, S, G, Z, and Q, have different lengths.

  1. Q is longer than at least three pencils, but not the longest pencil.

Here, we have 2 Cases, i.e., Case 1 and Case 2.

Case 1: _ > _ > Q > _ > _ > _

Case 2: _ > Q > _ > _ > _ > _

  1. Z is just shorter than S but just longer than P.

Case 1: _ > _ > Q > S > Z > P

Case 2: _ > Q > _ > S > Z > P

Case 2a: _ > Q > S > Z > P > _

Five

Why this answer is correct

Given: Six pencils, P, L, S, G, Z, and Q, have different lengths.

  1. Q is longer than at least three pencils, but not the longest pencil.

Here, we have 2 Cases, i.e., Case 1 and Case 2.

Case 1: _ > _ > Q > _ > _ > _

Case 2: _ > Q > _ > _ > _ > _

  1. Z is just shorter than S but just longer than P.

Case 1: _ > _ > Q > S > Z > P

Case 2: _ > Q > _ > S > Z > P

Case 2a: _ > Q > S > Z > P > _

  1. L is shorter than S.

Now, we can eliminate Case 1 and Case 2.

Case 2a: _ > Q > S > Z > P > L

This is our final arrangement,

Case 2a: G > Q > S > Z > P > L

Hence, the correct answer is Five.
