    Solution

    P is heavier than S but lighter than U. The weight of Q is more than the weight of S and T, which is the lightest among all. U is not the heaviest item. R is lighter than P. U > P > S Or Q > S > T Also, T is the lightest among all and U is not the heaviest. So, Q must be the heaviest item among all. The final arrangement is as follows: Q > U(58) > P > S/R > R/S (35) > T If the difference between the weights of U and R is 23kg, then weight of R must be 35kg which means item S is heavier than R.
