Six persons are arranged in descending order of their weights from left to right. Only T is lighter than Q, whose weight is 17 kg. S is twice as heavy as Q and 14 kg lighter than N. There are two persons between M and S. R is not the second heaviest among all. What may be the possible weight of R?
- 18kg
- 39kg
- 30kg
- 22kg
Correct answer: 39kg
Solution
Q weighs 17 kg, so S = 34 kg and N = 48 kg. Since only T is lighter than Q, T must be the lightest, and the remaining weights must fit the descending order with M two positions away from S. Among the options, 39 kg fits without making R the second heaviest.
