>> M >>

2) M weighs more than L but less than P. here we have 4 cases.

Case 1: P > ____ > M > L > ____

Case 2: ____ > P > M > L > ____

Case 3: P > ____ > M > _____ > L

Case 4: ____ > P > M > ____> L

3) N weighs less than O, whose weight is less than only one person. Here Case 2 and case 4 get eliminated.

Case 1: P > O > M > L > N

Question 597

SBI Clerk 2025• Reasoning Ability

Directions: Read the following information carefully and answer the question that follow:

There are five persons L, M, N, O, and P, who have different weights. M weighs more than only two peoples. M weighs more than L but less than P. N weighs less than O, whose weight is less than only one person. N weighs 45kg.

  5. EOption (e)

    None of these

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

50kg

Why this answer is correct

  1. M weighs more than only two peoples.

>> M >>

2) M weighs more than L but less than P. here we have 4 cases.

Case 1: P > ____ > M > L > ____

Case 2: ____ > P > M > L > ____

Case 3: P > ____ > M > _____ > L

Case 4: ____ > P > M > ____> L

3) N weighs less than O, whose weight is less than only one person. Here Case 2 and case 4 get eliminated.

Case 1: P > O > M > L > N

Case 3: P > O > M > N > L

  1. According to the Question If N weighs the least and M weighs 52kg then Case 3 will be cancelled. 

P > O > M > L > N

So probable weight for L will be between 45kg - 52kg

Hence, The Possible weight of L is 50Kg.
