It is given in the question that Arun is taller than Chandu and Binod is taller than David.
Therefore, Arun > Chandu and Binod > David
Also, Eshwar is shorter than Binod but taller than Chandu.
Therefore, Binod > Eshwar > Chandu
David is shorter than Chandu.
Therefore, Binod > Eshwar > Chandu > David
From the given statement:

Understanding the Problem
In this scenario, we have five boys with different heights: Arun, Chandu, Binod, David, and Eshwar. We need to analyze the statements to determine who is the shortest.
Statements Provided
- Arun is taller than Chandu.
- Binod is taller than David.
- Eshwar is shorter than Binod but taller than Chandu.
- David is shorter than Chandu.
Analyzing the Heights
1. Comparing Arun and Chandu
- Arun > Chandu
2. Comparing Binod and David
- Binod > David
3. Comparing Eshwar, Binod, and Chandu
- Binod > Eshwar > Chandu
4. Comparing David and Chandu
- David < />
Height Arrangement
From the relationships we have established:
- Since David is shorter than Chandu, we can denote their heights as:
- David < chandu="" />
- Eshwar is taller than Chandu but shorter than Binod:
- Chandu < eshwar="" />< binod="" />
- Arun is taller than Chandu, so we have:
- Chandu < arun="" />
Putting it all together, we can construct the following height order:
- David < chandu="" />< eshwar="" />< arun="" />
- Binod is taller than David but not necessarily shorter than Arun.
Conclusion
Given that David is stated to be shorter than Chandu, and Chandu is shorter than Eshwar, Arun, and Binod, the shortest boy in the room is indeed David.
Thus, the correct answer is option 'A' - David.
