Answer / siva kumar

Answer is A &B are the same and puzzle referring to same guy considering as tallest one,

just imagine for 20 members in 4 rows and 5 columns and for our simplicity every one height varies of 1 inch...so when arranged

1 2 3 4 5
6 7 8 9 10
11 12 13 14 15
16 17 18 19 20


now when we called Tallest among each rows 5, 10, 15, 20 comes out in that shortest one is 5 = A
now when called Shortest among each column 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 comes out in that Talleset one is 5 = B
