II. C is heavier than only T.

Options

A. Only I and II
B. Only I and III
C. Only II and either I or III
D. Only I and either II or III

Answer

A

Explanation

From statement I:
`B gt T, B gt C, V gtB`.
But `V rArr` not the heaviest. So, `E to` heaviest. arrangement in descending order of weights:
`E gtV gtB gtT gtC" or "E gtV gtB gtC gtT`
1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5
So, third from the top `to` B.
So, statement I alone is sufficient.
From statements II :
`C gt T`.
But there is no information regarding V, B and E. So, statement II alone is not sufficient.
Therefore, the data in statement I alone are sufficient to answer the given question.
