So my answer is the same as of that lady?
Although I am sure about my answer but you know there is always another way to around to look at the problem at hand.

[QUOTE=supergenius;918889]Weights of students in descending order ( highest to lowest) :
Ahmad
Ali
Shehbaz
Nasir
Akbar.

Its wrong. the descending order should be :
ahmad
ali
akbar
nasir
shehbaz

Solution:

ahmad > 3*ali
ali > 5*akbar
akbar > 0.5*nasir
nasir> 0.5*shehbaz

1) heaviest is Ahmad
2) lightest is shehbaz
3) shehbaz is lighter than all students
4) shehbaz is heavier than no one.
5) Descending order :
ahmad
ali
akbar
nasir
shehbaz :pipe

[QUOTE=ursula;919432]Oh, an interesting story related to this question, after the paper, I asked a lady how she solved this question, she was saying by allocating the weight according to data given, she said that although, it consumed my 15 minutes but my answer was correct. And I was shocked her descending order of weight was absolutely correct.This is said to be a presence of mind.
About me,
(alhamdollilah, my majority of questions are also correct, though objective created problem for me)
And my folly, I did know the formula of range, but in hustle bustle I have not attempted.[/QUOTE]

it took only 5-6 mints and done. :bow

@lonely, what makes you put inequality i.e. the greater than symbol, between variables?

Pit an equal sign and solve it.

Yes it requires an equal mark. but its in order like
a>b>c>d>e .. no need to solve when its evident.
I would like to see what you did.

Ahmad= 3*ali
Ali= 5* akbar
Shehbaz= 4*akbar
Nasir= 2* akbar
Akbar= least

:ninja::ninja::ninja:
its not shehbaz = 4*akbar
its akbar = 4*shehbaz

If you are taking "thrice as much as" as "Ahmad = 3*Ali" , then why are not doing the same to "half as much as" :ohmy:

No use studying
 

FPSC should not have given syllabus for this paper ...
more than 80% of paper was out of syllabus & QUESTIONS FROM STATS WERE SOOOO SOOOO SOOOO ANNOYING .. What of those who had never studied stats???? read the PRESCRIBED SYLLABUS and compare it with the paper given... NO USE STUDYING !!!!


..moreover, yes, calculator call was also given after candidates had already in their mind that " No calculators are allowed" ...FGS it was "ability" test as the name refers!
but those who went *out of the way* to bring calculators along , got profit.. RIP abiding by of rules..
