The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
The lightest article is C because:
\(A = 9C\)
\(B = 4.5C\)
\(D = 2C\)
\(E = 4C\)
Since \(w_A > w_E > w_C\), article C is the lightest.
The correct option is (A): C

Solution and Explanation
From the given conditions:
\(w_A = 9w_C\)
\(w_B = 4.5w_C\)
\(w_D = 2w_C\)
\(w_E = 4w_C\)
Since \(w_A > w_E > w_C\), article E is lighter than A and B.

E is heavier than which of the following two articles?
Updated On: Jan 30, 2025
- A,C
- D,C
- D,B
- A,B
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
From the weight relationships:
\(w_E = 4w_C\)
\(w_D = 2w_C\)
\(w_C\) is the lightest.
Since \(w_E = 4w_C\), it is clear that:
\(w_E > w_D\) (because \(4w_C > 2w_C\))
\(w_E > w_C\) (because \(4w_C > w_C\))
Thus, article E is heavier than both C and D.

From the weight relationships:
\(w_A = 9w_C\)
\(w_B = 4.5w_C\)
\(w_E = 4w_C\)

\(w_C\) is the base weight.
Since \(w_A = 9w_C\), article A is the heaviest in weight.
