The yellow suitcase is lighter than the green one. The pink suitcase is heavier than the green one but lighter than the blue one. Which suitcase is the third heaviest?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → Pink
Join the comparisons into one chain from the heaviest suitcase to the lightest, then count down to the third place.
Blue is heavier than green but lighter than red: Red > Blue > Green
Yellow is lighter than green: Red > Blue > Green > Yellow
Pink comes between blue and green: Red > Blue > Pink > Green > Yellow
The third heaviest is the pink suitcase
