Question: Among T, V, B, E and C, who is the third from the top when arranged in the descending order of their weights? Statements: B is heavier than T and C and is less heavier than V who is not the heaviest. C is heavier than only T.

I alone is sufficient while II alone is not sufficient
II alone is sufficient while I alone is not sufficient
Either I or II is sufficient
Neither I nor II is sufficient
Both I and II are sufficient

Correct Answer: I alone is sufficient while II alone is not sufficient

Explanation:

From I, we have: B > T, B > C, V > B. Thus, V is heavier than each one of B, T and C. But V is not the heaviest. So, E is the heaviest.

Thus, we have the order. E>V>B>T>C or E>V>B>C>T. Clearly, B is third from the top.
