Q: Question: X, Y, T, U and V arranged in descending order according to his weight then who will stand in second place from the beginning? Statement: 1. Weight of X is less than T and U. Weight of U is twice of T. 2. Weight of Y and V is less than X.
  • A. Both statement 1 and 2 is sufficient.
  • B. Only statement 1 is sufficient.
  • C. Only statement 2 is sufficient.
  • D. Both statement 1 and 2 are insufficient.
Correct Answer: Option A - The weight of X is less than T and U and the weight of U is twice as compared to T, from statement 1, T, U > X weight of U is twice of T. This implies that, U > T > X ....... (1) from statement 2, X > Y, V ....... (2) (1) and (2) together in descending order will be, U > T > X > Y, V when weight are arranged in descending order from the beginning, T will come in second place. So both statements 1 and 2 are sufficient.
A. The weight of X is less than T and U and the weight of U is twice as compared to T, from statement 1, T, U > X weight of U is twice of T. This implies that, U > T > X ....... (1) from statement 2, X > Y, V ....... (2) (1) and (2) together in descending order will be, U > T > X > Y, V when weight are arranged in descending order from the beginning, T will come in second place. So both statements 1 and 2 are sufficient.

Explanations:

The weight of X is less than T and U and the weight of U is twice as compared to T, from statement 1, T, U > X weight of U is twice of T. This implies that, U > T > X ....... (1) from statement 2, X > Y, V ....... (2) (1) and (2) together in descending order will be, U > T > X > Y, V when weight are arranged in descending order from the beginning, T will come in second place. So both statements 1 and 2 are sufficient.
