Among P, Q, R, S, T, each having different weight, R is heavier than only P and S is lighter than Q and heavier than T. Who among them is the heaviest?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → Q
Each clue fixes a place in the order of weights, written from the lightest to the heaviest.
“R is heavier than only P” — R is heavier than one person alone, so P is the lightest and R comes second; T, S and Q are all heavier than R.
“S is lighter than Q and heavier than T” — among the remaining three, the order is T, then S, then Q.
The full order is P < R < T < S < Q, so Q is the heaviest.
