Question and options
V, W, X, Y and Z, when arranged in descending order of their weights, V is the 3rd from the top and Z occupies the position between Y and V. X and Y are not at the top. Who among them occupies second position?
- W
- Z
- X
- V
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C - X
V is 3rd. X and Y are not at the top, and Z cannot be at the top because Z must lie between Y and V; so W is 1st. Z between Y and V with V at 3rd forces Z 4th and Y 5th, leaving X 2nd.
