Person A is taller than his brothers
A is taller than his two brothers.
Either could be correct. If you are talking about them all as individuals, tallest among is correct.
If comparing Person A to "his brothers" as a group, than taller than is correct.
the answer is " person A is taller than his brother" . if there were more than 3 brothers than you would use AMONG
Taller than. because among requires more than two people. 2 people: between, betwixt. 3 or more people: among. Hope this helped.
