Question 37

A, B, C, D and E are five rods. E is longer than A which is longer than C and lighter than C, which is lighter than D. B is shorter than D, and heavier than it. E is longer than D, and heavier than it.
If B is the heaviest of all, then which of the following can be the lightest of all the five rods?

Solution

Comparing the rods on the basis of weight

A is lighter than C, which is lighter than D, : D > C > A

B is heavier than D, : B > D

E is heavier than D, : E > D

It is given that B is the heaviest, and combining above statements, we get : B > E > D > C > A

Thus, A is the shortest.

=> Ans - (B)
