Question: Who among P, Q, R, S and T is the lightest?
Statements:
- R is heavier than Q and T but lighter than S.
- S is not the heaviest.
Answer: Option
Explanation:
From I, we have: R>Q, R>T, S>R i.e. S>R>Q>T or S>R>T>Q.
From II, S is not the heaviest. So, P is the heaviest. Thus, we have: P > S > R > Q > T or P > S > R > T > Q. Hence, either T or Q is the lightest.

Hare are is heavier than T and Q but does not mention T and Q who is heavier or lighter so there is two possibility P > S > R > Q > T or P > S > R > T > Q.
Either T and Q is the lighter.
Either T and Q is the lighter.

@All.
With 1 option, as we read the question we can say that R is heavier than Q and T, S is heavier than R, with 2 option P is heaviest than all ,but we have two answers whether T is lightest or Q as we can't determine, the is answer is D, if it has any statement like T is the only heavier that Q or vice-versa then the answer is E.

Guys think E should be the answer.
From 1, it is confirmed that T is the lightest,
From 2, it becomes even more clear that T is lightest.
Only 1 is not sufficient & only 2 is not sufficient.
So, I guess E is the answer. If I'm wrong then please explain.
