In a group of six people L, M, N, O, P and Q, each having a different weight, O is heavier than M. N is lighter than only P & L. M is not the lightest. L is not the heaviest. How many people are heavier than O? Correct Answer Three

The descending order of the six people L, M, N, O, P and Q is-

(1) N is lighter than only P & L.

L > P > N

or;

P > L > N

(2) O is heavier than M.

O > M

(3) M is not the lightest and L is not the heaviest.

P > L > N > O > M > Q

The descending order of the weight is-

P > L > N > O > M > Q

Here, Three people P, L and N are heavier than O.

Hence, Option (4) is the answer.
