Correct Answer: Only I follows


Solution : Given:
Statement I: Ibrahim is taller than Rakesh who is taller than Shyam.
Ibrahim > Rakesh > Shyam
Statement II: Shyam is shorter than David.
David > Shyam
After combining all the statements –
Ibrahim / David > Rakesh / David > Shyam

Let's check the conclusions –
Conclusion I: Ibrahim is taller than Shyam.
This conclusion is true according to the given arrangement.
Conclusion II: David is taller than Ibrahim.
This is not correct because we cannot determine the exact position of David or Ibrahim.

Therefore, only the conclusion I follows. Hence, the first option is correct.
