Consider two Statements and a Question: Statement-1: Each of A and D is heavier than each of B, E and F, but none of them is the heaviest. Statement-2: A is heavier than D, but is lighter than C. Who is the heaviest among A, B, C, D and E? Which one of the following is correct in respect of the Statements and the Question?

Options

  1. a.

    Statement-1 alone is sufficient to answer the Question

  2. b.

    Statement-2 alone is sufficient to answer the Question

  3. c.

    Both Statement-1 and Statement-2 are required to answer the Question

    Correct answer
  4. d.

    Neither Statement-1 alone nor Statement-2 alone is sufficient to answer the Question

    Correct answer

Explanation

Statement 1 mentions A & D are not the heaviest (in the entire set). But among a smaller set, any of the two could be heavier than other and all others. A > B, E & F D > B, E & F But relationship between A & D is unknown, ie anyone can be heavier. so, using statement 1 alone we cannot determine the heaviest item Statement 2 gives C > A > D So, using statement 2 alone also we cannot determine the heaviest item. But, using both statements we can solve easily as the unknown relationship between A & D gets defined along with the missing letter C, so we have C > A > D > B, E & F. So, C is heaviest. So, both options (c) and (d) are correct.
