The correct answer is Salt Solution.

 Key Points

• An electrolyte is a substance that produces an electrically conducting solution when dissolved in a polar solvent, such as water.
• The salt solution, therefore, is an electrolyte as it dissociates into its component ions when dissolved in water.
• These ions are responsible for conducting electricity, as they can move and carry a charge.

 Additional Information

• Sugar solution, petrol, and glycerine are all examples of non-electrolytes.
• They do not dissociate into ions when dissolved in a solvent, and therefore cannot conduct electricity.

Let's analyze the information given:

1. S is heavier than Q → S > Q

2. R is lighter than only T and P. This means R is the third heaviest.

3. Q is not the lightest. This means there is at least one person lighter than Q.

4. P is not the heaviest. This means there is at least one person heavier than P.

From point 2, we know that T and P are the two heaviest, but we don't know the order yet. From point 4, we know that P is not the heaviest, so T must be the heaviest. Therefore, P is the second heaviest → T > P > R

So, P is the second heaviest in terms of weight.
