B.
II alone is sufficient while I alone is not sufficient
C.
Either I or II is sufficient
D.
Neither I nor II is sufficient
Answer
E.
Both I and II are sufficient

Answer: Option D

Solution

Answer: Option D
Solution:
From I, we have: R>Q, R>T, S>R i.e. S>R>Q>T or S>R>T>Q.
From II, S is not the heaviest. So, P is the heaviest. Thus, we have: P > S > R > Q > T or P > S > R > T > Q. Hence, either T or Q is the lightest.
