Correct Answer: S


Solution : Given:
(I) Among five objects P, Q, R, S, and T, Q is twice as heavy as P.
Q = 2P
(II) S is twice as heavy as Q.
S = 2 × 2P = 4P
(III) R is half as heavy as T.
R = 1/2 T
(IV) T is equally as heavy as Q.
T = 2P
According to the given equations above the weight of five objects is as follows.
⇒ Q = 2P; S = 4P;  T = 2P; R = 1/2 T = 1/2 × 2P = P;
Let the value of P be 1.
Q = 2; S = 4; T = 2; R = 1, P = 1
Thus, the weight of  Q = 2, S = 4; T = 2; R = 1; P =1

So, S is the heaviest among all objects. Hence, the second option is correct.
