Five friends, Ankit, Bhanu, Chetna, Dolly and Esha, have different weights. Chetna is heavier than Dolly but lighter than Ankit. Esha is lighter than Dolly. Bhanu is heavier than Ankit. Who is the second lightest of the five?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → Dolly
Join the comparisons into one chain from the heaviest to the lightest, then count up from the lightest end.
Chetna is heavier than Dolly but lighter than Ankit: Ankit > Chetna > Dolly
Esha is lighter than Dolly: Ankit > Chetna > Dolly > Esha
Bhanu is heavier than Ankit: Bhanu > Ankit > Chetna > Dolly > Esha
The lightest is Esha, so the second lightest is Dolly
