Read the given question and decide which of the following statements are sufficient to answer the question. Question: P, Q, W, V, and S are standing in a row in descending order of their weight. Who's standing in the middle? Statements: 1. P is heavier than S and V is lighter than S. 2. Q is heavier than P and W is lighter than V. Correct Answer Statements 1 and 2 both are sufficient.
1. P is heavier than S and V is lighter than S.
P > S > V
- Here, there is no information given about the weights of Q and W. Therefore, statement 1 alone is not sufficient.
2. Q is heavier than P and W is lighter than V.
Q > P, W < V
- No information is given about the weight of S. Therefore, statement 2 alone is not sufficient.
- From statements 1, and 2:-
Q > P > S > V > W . So, S is in the middle.
- Here, statements 1, and 2 together are sufficient.
Hence, "option 4" is the correct answer.
