Correct Answer: P or R


Solution : The weight of P is twice that of Q, i.e., P = 2Q
The weight of Q is half that of R, i.e., R = 2Q
The weight of R is 3 times the weight of T, i.e., R = 3T
The weight of T is half that of S, i.e., S = 2T

By concluding all the given information, we have –
P = R > S > Q > T

Therefore, either P or R is the heaviest individual. Hence, the third option is correct.
