Question 5
ప్రశ్న 5
Only three runners—Asha, Bina and Chitra—are being compared. Asha is faster than both Bina and Chitra. Which superlative sentence is equivalent?
Explanation:
• The comparison set is explicitly limited to Asha, Bina and Chitra.
• If Asha is faster than each of the other two, she has the greatest speed in that group.
• Therefore, 'Asha is the fastest of the three runners' is the equivalent superlative statement.

Question 6
ప్రశ్న 6
Only three boxes—P, Q and R—are being compared. Box P alone has the greatest weight; neither Q nor R has the same weight as P. Which comparative sentence is equivalent?
Explanation:
• The stem explicitly states that P alone has the greatest weight and that neither Q nor R ties with it.
• Therefore, 'Box P is heavier than Box Q and Box R' states the same relation using the comparative degree.

Question 7
ప్రశ్న 7
Only three buildings—X, Y and Z—are being compared. Building X alone is the tallest; neither Y nor Z is equal to X in height. Which positive-degree sentence is equivalent?
Explanation:
• The stem explicitly makes X the unique tallest building in the three-building set.
• Therefore, neither Y nor Z is as tall as X, which expresses the same strict inequality using the positive form.

Only three books—A, B and C—are being compared for price. Book C is more expensive than both A and B. Which superlative sentence is equivalent?
Explanation:
• The set contains exactly three books, and C costs more than each of the other two.
• Therefore, C has the greatest price in the set and is 'the most expensive'.
• The remaining options contradict or weaken the stated comparison.

Which transformation does NOT preserve the meaning of 'Ravi is stronger than Mohan'?
Explanation:
• 'Ravi is not as strong as Mohan' reverses the original relationship and therefore changes the meaning.
• 'Mohan is not as/so strong as Ravi' preserves the original inequality.
• 'Compared with Mohan, Ravi is stronger' also directly restates the original comparison.

Question 13
ప్రశ్న 13
Only four mountains—P, Q, R and S—are in the comparison. P is higher than Q, R and S. Which sentence is equivalent?
Explanation:
• The group is explicitly restricted to four mountains.
• Since P is higher than each of Q, R and S, P has the greatest height in that group.
• Therefore, the equivalent superlative statement is 'P is the highest of the four mountains.'
• Since P is higher than each of Q, R and S, P has the greatest height in that group.
• Therefore, the equivalent superlative statement is 'P is the highest of the four mountains.'

Only four students—Kiran, Leela, Manoj and Neha—are being compared. Leela alone is the youngest; none of the other three is the same age as Leela. Which positive-degree statement is equivalent?
Explanation:
• The stem explicitly makes Leela uniquely youngest in the four-person group.
• Each of the other three is therefore older and hence not as young as Leela.
• The other choices contradict or remove the strict inequality in age.
