English Explanation / स्पष्टीकरण:
Correct Answer: Option (3) Only (III) is correct.
Explanation:
The question tests correct comparative conversion of a "one of the" superlative construction.
Detailed Analysis:
1.
Base sentence: *"He is one of the tallest boys in class."*
2.
Meaning: He belongs to the elite group of tall boys; he is not uniquely the sole tallest boy.
3.
Therefore, the comparative equivalent must use the quantifier most other:
•
Statement (III): *"He is taller than most other boys in class."* (Correct).
4.
Statements (I), (II), and (IV) assert that he is uniquely taller than every other boy (*the tallest*), distorting the original meaning.
5.
Thus, only statement (III) is correct.
Hence, Option (3) is correct.
