Try to arrange the items in a mathematical increasing or decreasing order. Use abbreviations to make things simpler. If two names begin with same letter, make the abbreviation of two characters.
Facts given are:
- K < V < H.
- R < H < G.
- R < K.
In all the three facts H, G and K appear on the right. So the tallest is either of them. The first fact defeats K, the second fact defeats H. So we are left with K as the answer.
