Question

H is heavier than J whereas M is heavier than P. L is as heavy as J. A is heavier than H. Which one of the following statements is definitely true?

The correct answer is

L is lighter than H

To determine which statement is definitely true, we need to analyze the given information about the weights of different individuals, namely H, J, M, P, L, and A. Let's break it down step-by-step:

  1. H is heavier than J:
    • H > J
  2. M is heavier than P:
    • M > P
  3. L is as heavy as J:
    • L = J
  4. A is heavier than H:
    • A > H

Now, let's review the options one by one:

  • Option 1: J is lighter than P.
    • No direct information about the weight relationship between J and P. We cannot definitively compare J and P based on the given information.
  • Option 2: M is heavier than A.
    • No comparison between M and A given. Only M > P and A > H are provided, with no link between A and M.
  • Option 3: L is lighter than H.
    • Since L = J and H > J, this implies L < H. So, this statement is definitely true.
  • Option 4: P is heavier than L.
    • No direct comparison between P and L. We know M > P, and L = J but cannot definitively relate weights of P and L.

After reviewing all the options using the information provided, the only statement that is definitively true is that L is lighter than H.
