Step-by-step Solution:
The best way to solve this is to combine the comparison clues into a single ranking of the five people from tallest to shortest. Let's use the `>` symbol to mean "is taller than".
The most important clue is the last one: "Binu is shorter than only one person."
- We have the established order: Binu > Eenu > Anu > Cini.
- We know Binu is the second tallest, so there must be exactly one person who is taller than him.
- The only person left to place in the ranking is Dany.
- Therefore, Dany must be the one person who is taller than Binu.
The complete ranking from tallest to shortest is:
Dany > Binu > Eenu > Anu > Cini
Final Answer: The tallest person is Dany.
