Question: Manoj, Prabhakar, Akash and Kamal are four friends. Who among them is the heaviest ?
Statements:
- Prabhakar is heavier than Manoj and Kamal but lighter than Akash.
- Manoj is lighter than Prabhakar and Akash but heavier than Kamal.
Answer: Option
Explanation:
From I, we have: P > M, P > K, A > P.
Thus, A > P > M > K or A > P > K > M. So, Akash is the heaviest.
From II, we have: P > M, A > M, M > K.
Thus, A > P > M > K or P > A > M > K. So, either Akash or Prabhakar is the heaviest.

I think both the statements are important.
Because the first statement says a >p>m>k but it does talk about m and k so there is a possibility of a>p>k>m.
But in second statement it is clearly said that a>p>m>k.

I think C is the correct answer. Because statement 1 and 2 gives the same answer.
