  5. EOption (e)

    None of these

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

80

Why this answer is correct

Six persons: G, H, I, J, K and L.

  1. J is heavier than only two persons.

J > >

  1. K is heavier than only L and lighter than J

J > K > L

  1. I’s weight is less than only H’s weight.

H > I

The arrangement is H > I > G > J > K > L.

  1. The third heaviest weight is 150 kgs and the fifth heaviest weight is 70 kgs.

G = 150 and K = 70

The final arrangement is

H > I > G > J > K > L.

Hence, J is in between G and K so it may be 80kgs.
