Question

Who among the following will be in the second place if all the members in the family are arranged in the descending order of their weights ?

• A. A
• B. C
• C. D
• D. Data inadequate
• E. None of these

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

C

In terms of weight, F < B, D < B, B < E, E < C. So, we have : D < F < B < E < C or F < D < B < E < C. C is not the heaviest. So, A is the heaviest. Thus, the sequence becomes : F < D < B < E < C < A or D < F < B < E < C < A.

D is the brother of F.

B is the mother of D and F.

A, being the heaviest, is the grandfather.

Now, C is a lady and so one couple is AC.

B is a female and so on cannot pair up with C. So, the other couples is BE.

The descending order of weights is :

A > C > E > B > F > D or A > C > E > B > D > F.

Clearly, C comes second.
