Study the given information carefully to answer the given questions. Six books — A, B, C, D, E and F, each of different thickness, are kept on a table. F is thicker than B but thinner than C. A is thinner than both B and E, but not thinnest. E is thinner than F The second thinnest book is 7cm thick and the second thickest book is 13cm thick. (Note: The thickness of all the books is in whole numbers.)
If E is 12cm thick, then which of the following is true about E ?
C>F>B, A<B, A<E
A is not the thinnest, thus D is the thinnest
F>E
This presents 2 possibilities :-
1. C > F(13 cm) > E > B > A(7cm) >D
2. C > F(13 cm) > B > E > A(7cm) >D
Now since all the books have their thickness in whole numbers and E is 12cm thick, Case 1 is applicable here.
In this case, E is the third thickest book, hence (E).
