      C Both statement II and statement III Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Only statement I Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E Only statement II Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      From statement I alone, as J is heavier than O and L. K is one of the two persons, who are lighter than L. M is lighter than P and N. M is not lighter than J. More than two persons are lighter than O. Q is not the second lightest person. P is not the second heaviest person, so P > N > M > J > O > L > K > Q Clearly, four persons are heavier than O. From statement II alone, no proper arrangement is possible. From statement III alone, no proper arrangement is possible.   Both statement II and statement III are redundant.
