(Q. Nos. 57-59) Answer these questions based on the information given below.

A blacksmith has five steel balls J, K, L, M and N each of which has different weights.

• J weights twice as much as K.

• K weights four and a half times as much as L.

• L weights half as much as M.

• M weights half as much as N.

• N weights less than J but more than L.

Question : 57 of 200

Marks: +1, -0

N is heavier than which of the two steel balls?

Solution:

(Q. Nos. 57-59)

Given, J=2k, k=

4\frac{1}{2}

L =

\frac{9}{2}

L , L =

\frac{M}{2}, M = \frac{N}{2}

If we put N = 1, then

N = 1 , M =

\frac{1}{2} = 0.5 , L = \frac{1}{2} \times 0.5 = 0.25

K =

\frac{9}{2} \times 0.25

= 1.25 , J

= 2 \times 1.125 = 2.250

Now, we see that, 2.250 > 1.125 > 1 > 0.5 > 0.25

i.e., J > K > N > M > L

From above, it is clear that N Is heavier than balls L and M
