• A. I alone is sufficient while II alone is not sufficient
• B. II alone is sufficient while I alone is not sufficient
• C. Either I or II is sufficient
• D. Neither I nor II is sufficient
• E. Both I and II are sufficient

Answer 1

The correct option is A I alone is sufficient while II alone is not sufficient

From I, we have: P > M, P > K, A > P.
Thus, A > P > M > K or A > P > K > M. So, Akash is the heaviest.
From II, we have: P > M, A > M, M > K.
Thus, A > P > M > K or P > A > M > K. So, either Akash or Prabhakar is the heaviest.
