"Raju has more share of land than Sundar but lesser than Prem":
Prem>Raju>Sundar
"Ompal has the least share":
Ompal is at the bottom end.
"Hari has lesser share of land than Sundar":
Sundar>Hari
Combining all the derived conditions together:
Prem>Raju>Sundar>Hari>Ompal
Therefore, Prem owns the highest share of land.
"Raju has more share of land than Sundar but lesser than Prem":
Prem>Raju>Sundar
"Ompal has the least share":
Ompal is at the bottom end.
