Question 42

Weight of P is twice that of Q. Weight of Q is half of R. Weight of R is 3 times of T. Weight of T is half of S. Who is the heaviest?

Solution

Let weight of S = $$4x$$ kg

=> T's weight = $$\frac{4x}{2}=2x$$ kg

=> R's weight = $$3\times2x=6x$$ kg

=> Q's weight = $$\frac{6x}{2}=3x$$ kg

=> P's weight = $$2\times3x=6x$$ kg

Thus, arranging in decreasing order : $$P=R>S>Q>T$$

$$\therefore$$ P or R is the heaviest.
