The correct answer is
Sujeet
Ranking the Strongest Boy in the Group
This problem requires establishing a relative strength order based on given statements to identify the strongest boy.
Analyzing the Strength Comparisons:
- Zeeshan is stronger than Rohan (Zeeshan > Rohan).
- Mathew is stronger than Paul (Mathew > Paul).
- Subhash is weaker than Rohan but stronger than Paul (Rohan > Subhash > Paul).
- Akhil is equal in strength to Zeeshan (Akhil = Zeeshan).
- Sujeet is stronger than Akhil (Sujeet > Akhil).
- Mathew is not as strong as Rohan, meaning Rohan is stronger than Mathew (Rohan > Mathew).
Establishing the Strength Order:
Let's combine the comparisons step-by-step:
- From Sujeet > Akhil and Akhil = Zeeshan, we get: Sujeet > Akhil = Zeeshan.
- From Zeeshan > Rohan, we extend the order: Sujeet > Akhil = Zeeshan > Rohan.
- From Rohan > Mathew, we further extend: Sujeet > Akhil = Zeeshan > Rohan > Mathew.
- The remaining comparisons are Mathew > Paul and Rohan > Subhash > Paul. These confirm that Paul is weaker than both Mathew and Subhash, and both Mathew and Subhash are weaker than Rohan.
- The deduced hierarchy places Sujeet at the top: Sujeet is the strongest.
Identifying the Strongest Boy:
The complete relative strength order deduced is Sujeet > Akhil = Zeeshan > Rohan > Mathew and also Rohan > Subhash > Paul. This clearly shows that Sujeet is stronger than everyone else mentioned.
