Among six objects F G H J K and L i H is twice as heavy as K and J is one and half times as heavy as...........

Logical Reasoning (MTS) Ranking and ordering

Among six objects F, G, H, J, K and L:

i. H is twice as heavy as K, and J is one and half times as heavy as F.

ii. G is half as heavy as J.

iii. F and J together are less heavy than H.

iv. J and L together are twice as heavy as F.

If the objects are arranged in descending order of their weight, which object will be second from the bottom?

SSC MTS 11th October 2021 Shift-1

- Statement i: H = 2K, J = 1.5F

- Statement ii: G = 0.5J

- Statement iii: F + J < H

- Statement iv: J + L = 2F

Calculating relationships:

- From ii, G = 0.5J = 0.5 * 1.5F = 0.75F

- From iv, J + L = 2F implies L = 2F - J

Given these conditions:

- H = 2K, F, and K are the lightest because H is heavier than their sum.

- G = 0.75F, lighter than J, who is 1.5F.

When ordered from heaviest to lightest, the sequence is H, J, L, F, G, K. Therefore, the second from the bottom is G.

Answer: Option 4 - G
