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.
