{'mangla': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'neela': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'sapna': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'asha': [0, 1, 1, 2], 'pushpa': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'friends': [0, 0, 2, 0], 'group': [0, 1, 0, 0]}

Based on the given information, we can determine the height of each friend in the group:

- Mangla is taller than Neela, but the information does not provide any comparison between Mangla and the other friends.

- Pushpa is as tall as Mangla, but this information does not help us determine her height relative to the other friends.

- Asha is taller than Sapna, but not as tall as Neela. This indicates that Asha is taller than Sapna and Neela but not taller than Pushpa or Mangla.

- Therefore, the shortest friend in the group is Sapna, as she is shorter than Asha, Neela, Pushpa, and Mangla.

So, the correct answer is option 2: Sapna.

Alert - correct answer should be option 4: Asha. The given information tells us that Asha is taller than Sapna but not as tall as Neela. This means that Asha is taller than Sapna, making Sapna the shortest friend in the group.
