Question

Study the information carefully answer the questions given below. Six persons P, Q, R, S, T and U in a family have different weights. The third heaviest person weight is 40kg. Q’s weight is in odd number and is lighter than S but heavier than R. The number of persons lighter than S is one more than P. T is heavier than R and U. T is 20kg more than P who is heavier than Q. The second lightest person is not Q.

Question: The number of persons heavier than P is equal to the number of persons lighter than which person?

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The third heaviest person weighs 40 kg, so the weights can be arranged in descending order with the third heaviest at 40 kg.

2. Q's weight is an odd number, and Q is lighter than S but heavier than R. So the order is: S > Q > R.

3. The number of persons lighter than S is one more than the number of persons lighter than P. This means:
   - If persons lighter than P = x, then persons lighter than S = x + 1.

4. T is heavier than R and U, and T weighs 20 kg more than P. Also, P is heavier than Q.

5. The second lightest person is not Q, so Q is not second from the bottom.

6. We need to find the person for whom the number of persons lighter than them equals the number of persons heavier than P.

7. Since P is heavier than Q and lighter than T, the number of persons heavier than P equals the number of persons lighter than Q.
