Statement II: S is heavier than R, who is heavier than U. T is the lightest person. Q is lighter than P, who is lighter than R.
    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

    E The data in both statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    From Statement I alone, we get: The following order of weights of persons: R/S > S/R > P > Q > U > T Or R > Q > S > P > U > T Or R/S > S/R > Q > P > U > T Either P or Q is just heavier than U. From statement II alone, we get: The following order of weights of persons: S > R > P > Q > U > T Or S > R > P > U > Q > T Or S > R > U > P > Q > T P or Q or R is just heavier than U. From statement I and II, we get: The following order of weights of persons: S > R > P > Q > U > T Q is just heavier than U. Data given in both statement I and statement II together are sufficient to answer the question.
