Solution:

There can be three cases for this question.
1) X and Y are present in the same row.
In this case, Y will be the tallest in the row => Y is taller than X.

2) X and Y are present in the same column.
In this case, X will be the shortest of the column => Y is taller than X.

3) X and Y are present in different rows and different columns. Suppose that the child standing in X’s column and Y's row is Z. Then:
Y is taller than Z and Z is taller than X => Y is taller than X.

Therefore, in any of the above cases, Y is taller than X.

== Mathematical Answer ==
Mathematical Answer = number of seconds in a minute * number of minute in an hour * number hour in a day * number of day in year
60 * 60 * 24 * 365 = 31536000
60 * 60 * 24 * 365.25 = 31557600 (if you want account for leap year)


== We are looking for trick answer (which is 24) ==
Every month contains only 2 second like
A) 2nd January ("second" January)

Solution:

Since each one of them gave one answer wrong, this means that each one of them gave two answers right.

Let us assume that Student A gave a wrong answer to the first question. This will mean that Student B also gave a wrong answer for the first. This will conclude that the rest of the two answers given by them are correct. However, the answers are different and thus it is not possible.

Thus both Student A and Student B must be right with the first question and the answer to the first is two.

If you keep applying the same logic, you will come to a conclusion that following are the correct answers:
Q1. Two
Q2. Three
Q3. Two
