Correct Answer

I alone is sufficient while II alone is not sufficient

Explanation

From I, we have: P > M, P > K, A > P.

Thus, A > P > M > K or A > P > K > M. So, Akash is the heaviest.

From II, we have: P > M, A > M, M > K.

Thus, A > P > M > K or P > A > M > K. So, either Akash or Prabhakar is the heaviest.
