Question

Hitesh is richer than Jaya whereas Mohan is richer than Pritam.
Lalit is as rich as Jaya. Amit is richer than Hitesh.
What conclusion can be definitely drawn from the above statements ?

• A. Jaya is poorer than Pritam.
• B. Mohan is richer than Amit.
• C. Lalit is poorer than Hitesh.
• D. Pritam is richer than Lalit

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Lalit is poorer than Hitesh.

We can arrange the information in terms of richness as :
Jaya < Hitesh, Pritam < Mohan, Lalit = Jaya, Hitesh < Amit.
So, we have the sequence : Lalit = Jaya < Hitesh < Amit and Pritam < Mohan.
Clearly, Lalit is poorer than Hitesh.

Hence C is the correct statement.
