CMAT 2022 Linear Arrangements Question (Medium)

Question

Each of the five balls, such as Red, Blue, Yellow, Black and Green is of a different weight. It is known that:

(i) Black ball is heavier than the Red and Blue balls. (ii) Yellow ball is lighter than the Red ball. (iii) Blue ball is heavier than the Red and Green balls.

Which ball could be the lightest one?

Optima Learn · Accepted Answer

What the question asks. Five balls, Red, Blue, Yellow, Black and Green, all have different weights, and three comparisons are given. We must say which ball could be the lightest, so we need every ball the clues fail to rule out of the bottom position, not just one order that happens to work. Step 1.
