    different weights. Who is the third heaviest person? Statement I: G is heavier than F, who is heavier than J, who is not the lightest. I is heavier than only one person. G is not the heaviest. Statement II: Only three persons are heavier than J, who is heavier than I. I is not the lightest. G is heavier than F and neither of them is lighter than J. The question consists of two statements numbered I and II given below it. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statements are sufficient to answer the question.
    A The data in statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement II alone are not sufficient to answer the question Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B The data in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone are not sufficient to answer the question Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C The data either in statement I alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D The data given in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E The data in both statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    From I, Now, G is heavier than F, who is heavier than J, who is not the lightest. I is heavier than only one person. G is not the heaviest. So, we get the following arrangement: __ > G > F > J > I > __ So, F is the third heaviest person. From II, Now, only three persons are heavier than J, who is heavier than I. I is not the lightest. G is heavier than F and neither of them is lighter than J. So, we get the following possible arrangements, G > __ > F > J > I > __ __ > G > F > J > I > __ G > F > __ > J > I > __ Statement II is not sufficient to answer the question.
