Question

Each of the five people K, L, M, P and Q is of a different weight. It is known that the number of people heavier than P is the same as the number of people lighter than Q. L is the heaviest and K is not the lightest. Who is the lightest?
1. M
2. L
3. Q
4. P

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : M

Given data :

1) Number of people heavier than P is the same as the number of people lighter than Q and L is the heaviest.

 L > P > _ > Q > _  or  L > Q > _ > P > _

2) K is not the lightest.

 L > P > K > Q > M  or  L > Q > K > P > M

Hence, 'M' is the lightest among all people.
