To celebrate International Women’s Day, Helen arranged for a photo shoot in the office of all her amazing female colleagues.
Helen is taller than Claire. Pippa is smaller than Helen but taller than Hannah. No-one is taller than Rachel. Claire is the fourth tallest.

Pippa has to be the third tallest as she has Helen who is taller and Hannah who is shorter. If she was in any other position one of these statements wouldn’t be true. This therefore means that Helen has to be the second tallest and Hannah the smallest.
So the height order is:
Rachel Helen Pippa Claire Hannah.
