We construct an elliptic curve over the field of rational functions with torsion group $\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}\times \mathbb{Z}/4\mathbb{Z}$ and rank equal to four, and an elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}$ with the same torsion group and rank nine. Both results improve previous records for ranks of curves of this torsion group. They are obtained by considering elliptic curves induced by Diophantine triples.
