Answers and Explanations
1. Answer - Option C
Explanation [1-5]-
Given,
Six people: I, J, K, L, M and N.
Heaviest one weights 90 kg.
N is heavier than J and K, who are neither tallest nor shortest.
J, K < N
The tallest one weights immediate less than J and K weights less than the tallest one.
K < Tallest < J < N
Only M is heavier than I.
I < M
Arranging them according to their weights,
So, the tallest one will be L.
Now arranging them with respect to heights in ascending order as given in the information.
N stands in row just before K, N is shorter than K.
N K
Two people are standing between J and N, I is not one of them.
(there will be two conditions can form) J _ _ N M K ----Ã condition 1
N K _ J -> condition 2
Condition one will not follow because according to that K will become the tallest.
In condition 2, I and L cannot be in between J and N, So
N K M J
The lightest weight of the person is 59, who is the fourth tallest person too.
K is the lightest among them and K is 4th from right so, I will be the shortest.
Summing them all we get,
There are two people standing between I and M.
