Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 2 : 142 Kg

Six boxes: P, Q, R, S, T, and U

1. Weight of box R is more than box T but not more than box U and S.

U/S > R > T

2. Weight of box Q is more than box P and box T but not more than box U.

3. Weight of box U is greater than box S.

U > Q/S > P/T

4. Weight of box P is more than box R but not more than box S.

S > P > R

5. Weight of S is 76 Kg and weight of the one whose weight is fourth highest is 64 Kg

So, the final arrangement is:

U > S(76 Kg)/Q > Q/S(76 Kg) > P (64) > R > T

So, P + Q = 130, and box P Weight is 64 Kg.

Therefore Weight of box Q is 66 Kg and also the weight of box S is 76 Kg.

Hence, the weight of box Q and box S is 142 Kg.
