Six people- A, B, C, D, E and F are of different weights. No two people have the same weight.
B is heavier than E and immediately lighter than D.
D is not the heaviest person.
E is immediately heavier than A, who is the lightest.
| Case 1 | | D | B | | E | A | |
| Case 2 | | | D | B | E | A | |
| Heavier | | | | | | | Lighter |
C is lighter than F but heavier than E
C is not heavier than D.
So, case 2 gets cancelled.
| Case 1 | F | D | B | C | E | A | |
| Heavier | | | | | | | Lighter |
The weight of the third heaviest person is 68 kg.
| | | | 68 kg | | | | |
| | F | D | B | C | E | A | |
| Heavier | | | | | | | Lighter |
This is the final arrangement.
As many people are lighter than E as heavier than D.
