Previous Year Questions

From I alone: -

The heaviest person is also the 2^nd shortest. A is heavier than C, who is shorter than B but not shortest.

So, neither B nor C is the 2^nd shortest.

D is the lightest.

So, we get: -

So, A is the heaviest.

From II: -

The 2^nd shortest person is the heaviest person. C is lighter than B, who is the tallest.

Since, C is lighter than B. So, C is either shortest or 2^nd tallest person.

So, we get: -

A is heavier than D.

Here, neither B nor C is the heaviest. Also, D cannot be the heaviest.

So, A must be the heaviest person.

So, we get: -

So, statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.
