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?
Comparing the rods on the basis of weight
A is lighter than C, which is lighter than D, :Â D >Â 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 :Â B > E > D > C > A
Thus, A is the shortest.
=> Ans - (B)
