Gita is prettier than Sita but not as pretty as Rita. Then,

Correct Option (1)

The given statement "Gita is prettier than Sita but not as pretty as Rita" establishes a hierarchy of prettiness.

• "Gita is prettier than Sita" implies: Gita > Sita
• "but not as pretty as Rita" implies that Rita is prettier than Gita: Rita > Gita

Combining these two relationships yields the complete sequence: Rita > Gita > Sita.

Option (1) states "Sita is not as pretty as Gita." From the derived sequence (Rita > Gita > Sita), it is clear that Gita is indeed prettier than Sita. Therefore, Sita is not as pretty as Gita, which makes this statement correct and consistent with the provided information.

• Option (2): "Sita is prettier than Rita." This is incorrect because Rita is prettier than Sita (Rita > Sita).
• Option (3): "Rita is not as pretty as Gita." This is incorrect because Rita is prettier than Gita (Rita > Gita).
• Option (4): "Gita is prettier than Rita." This is incorrect because Rita is prettier than Gita (Rita > Gita).
