Consider two Statements and a Question: Statement 1: Each of A and D is heavier than each of B, E and F, but none of them is the-heaviest. Statement 2: A is heavier than D, but is lighter than C. Question: Who is the heaviest among A,B,C, D and E? Which one of the following is correct in respect of the Statements and the Question ?
Both Statement-1 and Statement-2 are required to answer the Question
Statement 1: According to this statement both A and D are greater than B, E, and F but non of this is heaviest.
In this statement, we don't know whether A is heavier than D or vice-versa .similarly we don't know the sequence of B, E, and F although they are lighter than A and D. we can assume that C is heaviest as out of A, B, C, D, E as it is given that none of A, B, D, E, F is heaviest but it's just an assumption C may be less than F too because we don't know whether we have only these six. So, statement 1 alone is not sufficient
Statement 2: According to this statement A is heavier than D but lesser than C . but this statement does not tell us about the rest (B.E).
So, statement 2 alone is not sufficient .
On combining both statements we get :
Which clearly derived that C is the heaviest amongst A, B, C, D, E.
Hence, we required Both Statement-1 and Statement-2 to answer the question.
