Data Interpretation
Four persons A,B,C,D were there. All were of different weights. All Four gave a statement.Among the four statements only the person who is lightest in weight of all
others gave a true statement.
A Says : B is heavier than D.
B Says : A is heavier than C.
C Says : I am heavier than D.
D Says : C is heavier than B.
Find the lightest & List the persons in ascending order according to their weights.
Read Solution (Total 31)
-
- A says B>D
B says A>C
C says C>D
D says C>B
Since the person with lightest weight tells the truth
C lies (If C tells the truth, then C is not the lightest and then C lies)
===> D>C is the true statement.
So D is also not the lightest person and D lies.
B>C
So from A and B only one is telling the truth and that is not B because
B>C, so B is not the lightest
A is the lightest
A - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(52) No(27)
- A says B>d
B says A>C
C says C>D
D says C>b
among this A>C>B>D
D is the lightest. - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(46) No(10)
- B>D>C>A
Only A is speaking truth as A Says : B is heavier than D.
others are telling a lie.
as
B Says : A is heavier than C.
C Says : I am heavier than D.
D Says : C is heavier than B.
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(12) No(4)
- given:B>D
A>C
C>D
C>B
hence relation is:A>C AND DB>D
SO,D IS the lightest..because C lies between B and D and A>C so..
D is the lightest.. - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(11) No(3)
- A,C,D,B
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(7) No(6)
- One of the four persons are right then others say rong or opposite.
If a is right b,c,d are opposite to truth
a says B>D is truth
b says A>C opp is C>A is truth
c says C>D opp is D>C is truth
D says C>B opp is B>C is truth
Finally we get B>D>C>A is the answer . A tells truth who is lighter - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(7) No(1)
- A is the lightest
A - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(6) No(4)
- A: B>D
B: A>C
C: C>D
D: C>B
now, suppose A is telling the truth, then B>D , C>A , D>C , B>C
according to that, B>D>C>A
hence, A is the lightest, & A is telling the truth..
PS: we have to use the trial and error method here... - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(5) No(2)
- A-->B>D
B-->A>C
C-->C>D
D-->C>B
so the correct sequence is D B C A
lightest weight ----->D - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(1)
- D is the lightest in weight....
D - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(1)
- D is lightest and D
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(2)
- A C B D .... D is the lighest
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(1)
- D is the lightest
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(3)
- A is lightest and so tells truth.
ascending order of weights is A,C,D,B.
- 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(1)
- D is lightest
D - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(1)
- Lightest is D
D B C A - 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- acc to qes A>C>B>D then D is true then sol is D>C>B>A so A is lightest
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(3)
- d,b,c,a
d is lighter than b & c
b is lighter than c
c is lighter than a - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
- ACDB is the order of members arranged in increasing order of weight.
Just take conditions case by case. Negate the condition to make False statement true and check all comes to true.
- 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- The lightest is A
A>C>B>D - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
- A is the lightest.
The sequence will be B>D>C>A.
Considering the First Statement to be right i.e the one said by A and proceeding further keeping the integrity of the constraints. - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- B>d>C>A
A is lightest one - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- lightest D order A>C>B>D
- 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- D B C A
D is lightest - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
- A>C>B>D
the above series concludes that A is the highest and D is heaviest - 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- A says B>d
B says A>C
C says C>D
D says C>b
among this A>C>B>D
so D is the lightest..... - 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
- d
- 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- D is lightest in weight
D - 5 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- d is lightest among all the four members...a>c>b>d
- 4 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- B>D
A>C
C>D
C>B
AMONG THIS ASCENDING ORDER IS :A>C>B>D
SO,A IS HIGHEST
D IS LIGHTEST - 4 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- The ascending order is DBCA
The lightest weight is A - 4 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
