Six persons are comparing their weights in decreasing order from left to right. B is just heavier than A. Three persons are lighter than J. J is not the lightest person. H is heavier than C. One person is M. How many persons weigh between B and J?
- One
- Two
- Three
- Four
Correct answer: Two
Solution
Since three persons are lighter than J and J is not the lightest, J must be fourth in the decreasing order. B is just heavier than A, so B and A are consecutive. Using the remaining clues, the arrangement gives two persons between B and J.
