Question:
Five boys — Vivek, Abhishek, Roy, Das, and Ranjan — are compared for height and weight.
- Vivek is taller and lighter than Abhishek.
- Ranjan is shorter and heavier than Das.
- Both Abhishek and Roy are taller and heavier than Das.
- If Abhishek is taller than Roy, then Vivek is heavier than Ranjan.
- Roy is heavier than Abhishek.
If Roy is heavier than Das, then Abhishek is taller than Roy. Who is the lightest?
Five boys — Vivek, Abhishek, Roy, Das, and Ranjan — are compared for height and weight.
- Vivek is taller and lighter than Abhishek.
- Ranjan is shorter and heavier than Das.
- Both Abhishek and Roy are taller and heavier than Das.
- If Abhishek is taller than Roy, then Vivek is heavier than Ranjan.
- Roy is heavier than Abhishek.
If Roy is heavier than Das, then Abhishek is taller than Roy. Who is the lightest?
- Vivek is taller and lighter than Abhishek.
- Ranjan is shorter and heavier than Das.
- Both Abhishek and Roy are taller and heavier than Das.
- If Abhishek is taller than Roy, then Vivek is heavier than Ranjan.
- Roy is heavier than Abhishek.
If Roy is heavier than Das, then Abhishek is taller than Roy. Who is the lightest?
Show Hint
In comparative reasoning, first fix absolute extremes (lightest, tallest) from direct statements, then deduce middle order.

Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: From the given statements
- Roy is heavier than Abhishek.
- Both Roy and Abhishek are taller and heavier than Das.
Therefore, Das is shorter and lighter than both Roy and Abhishek.
Step 2: Height and weight ordering
- Vivek is lighter than Abhishek.
- Ranjan is heavier than Das but shorter than Das.
- Given that Roy is heavier than Das, the statements imply Abhishek is taller than Roy.
- Vivek is heavier than Ranjan.
Step 3: Determining the lightest person
- Das is lighter than Roy and Abhishek.
- Ranjan is heavier than Das.
- Vivek is lighter than Abhishek but still heavier than Das (since Das is the lightest overall).
Final Answer:
\[ \boxed{\text{Das}} \]

- There are five men - A, B, C, D and E, six women - P, Q, R, S, T and Z, A, B, and R are advocates. S, Q, P, D and C are doctors and the rest are teachers. A team has to be selected from these eleven persons subject to the following conditions: \[\begin{array}{rl} \bullet & \text{[(I)] A, P and Z have to be together.} \\ \bullet & \text{[(II)] B cannot go with D or R.} \\ \bullet & \text{[(III)] E and Q have to be together.} \\ \bullet & \text{[(IV)] C and T have to be together.} \\ \bullet & \text{[(V)] D and P cannot go together.} \\ \bullet & \text{[(VI)] C cannot go with Q.} \\ \end{array}\] If the team formed consists of two male advocates, two lady doctors and one teacher, the members of the team can be:

- Eight boxes - A, B, C, D, P, Q, R and S are stacked vertically but not necessarily in the same order. Which among them is kept immediately above R?
Statement (I): Only three boxes are kept above D and only one box is kept between D and Q. Q is kept lower than D and is immediately below P.
Statement (II): Only one box is kept between A and C. C is kept three boxes above Q. As many boxes are kept above B as are kept below R.- CUET (PG) - 2025

- P, Q, R, S, T, A and B are consecutive integers (not necessarily in that order), such that the smallest of these is greater than 60 and the greatest is less than 70. It is known that:
(I) A and B both are prime numbers.
(II) T is a multiple of 9.
(III) Both the digits of P are same.
(IV) The average of R and S is 63 and the difference between R and S is 2.
