1. Alam weighs twice as much as Marina. Marina's weight is 60% of Robin's weight. Drabir weighs 50% of Lima's weight. Lima weighs 190% of Alam's weight. Which of these 5 people weighs the least?
- A. Robin
- B. Robin
- C. Robin
- D. Robin
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Let's say,
Alam's weight=2x
So,
Maria's weight=x
Robin's weight=x+60% of x=1.6x
Lamia's weight=(190×2x)/100=3.8x
Dravid's weight=(3.8x)×50%=1.9x
So, 3.8x>2x>1.9x>1.6x>x
or, Lamia>Alam>Dravid>Robin>Maria
Maria has the least weight. (ans)
