There are seven persons - A, B, C, D, E, F and G. They have different weights. The weight of second heaviest person is 185 kg and the weight of second lightest person is 85 kg. Sum of weight of C and D is 290 kg. Only Three persons have more weight than D. E is heavier than both F and G but F is not lightest. The weight of A is 250 kg. Sum of weight of F and G is 135 kg. B is heavier than both C and D but C is not lightest. The weight of D is 140 kg. The weight of E is obtained from removing weight of C from weight of A. Who is the fifth heaviest person?

B is heavier than both C and D but C is not lightest. The weight of D is 140 kg. The weight of E is obtained from removing weight of C from weight of A. Who is the fifth heaviest person?  Correct Answer E

The logic follows here is :

Seven persons : A, B, C, D, E, F and G.

The weight of second heaviest person is 185 kg and the weight of A is 250 kg → A is 250 kg and first heaviest person.

Sum of weight of C and D is 290 kg and the weight of D is 140 kg → C is 150 kg and D is 140 kg.

Only three persons have more weight than D and B is heavier than both C and D but C is not lightest → A is 250 kg and B is 185 kg and C is 150 kg and D is 140 kg.

E is heavier than both F and G but F is not lightest → E is heavier than F and F is heavier than G.

Weight of second lightest person is 85 kg and sum of weight of F and G is 135 kg → F is 85 kg and G is 50 kg.

The weight of E is obtained from removing weight of C from weight of A → Weight of E = Weight of A - Weight of C.

Weight of E = 250 kg - 150 kg = 100 kg.

The possible arrangement for given statements from the question is as follows :

Thus, the fifth heaviest person is 'E'.
