Question:

500 men are arranged in an array of 10 rows and 50 columns according to their
heights.
Tallest among each row of all are asked to come out. And the shortest among
them is A.
Similarly after resuming them to their original positions, the shortest among each
column are asked to come out. And the tallest among them is B.
Now who is taller A or B ?

Answer:
No one is taller, both are same as A and B are the same person.

As it is mentioned that 500 men are arranged in an array of 10 rows and 50
columns according to their heights. Let's assume that position numbers
represent their heights. Hence, the shortest among the 50, 100, 150, ... 450, 500
is person with height 50 i.e. A. Similarly the tallest among 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ..... 48, 48,
50 is person with height 50 i.e. B
Now, both A and B are the person with height 50. Hence both are same.
