Quick Solution

This is a ranking puzzle. We can solve it by combining the given statements to create a single order of heights from tallest to shortest. Let's use `>` for "is taller than" and `=` for "is as tall as".

1. Combining the Clues

• First, let's combine the statements about people having equal height:
  "Pradeep is as tall as Anurag" (Pradeep = Anurag).
  "Suresh is as tall as Anurag" (Suresh = Anurag).
  This means three people are of the exact same height: Pradeep = Anurag = Suresh.


• Now let's add the other comparison clues relative to this group:
  "Shyam is taller than Pradeep" (Shyam > Pradeep). This places Shyam above the group of three.
  "Pradeep is taller than Praveen" (Pradeep > Praveen). This places Praveen below the group.
  "Anand is shorter than Suresh" (Suresh > Anand). This also places Anand below the group.

2. The Final Ranking

Putting all the information together, we get the following complete height ranking:

Shyam > (Pradeep = Anurag = Suresh) > (Praveen and Anand)

(The exact height order of Praveen and Anand relative to each other doesn't matter for this question).

3. Conclusion

Looking at the final ranking, the person who is taller than everyone else is Shyam.

Final Answer: The tallest of all is Shyam.
