Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

Explanation

  1. Om > Kabir > Leena > Manav from the first clues.

  2. With Nargis > Kabir, Nargis must sit above Kabir: either Nargis > Om > Kabir or Om > Nargis > Kabir.

  3. In both orders two people (Om and Nargis) are above Kabir, so Kabir is the third heaviest.

  4. The order of Om and Nargis at the top stays unknown, but it does not change the third place.

Worth noting

Without the 'if' clue, the third heaviest could be Leena, Kabir or Nargis. The extra clue fixes the third place even though the top two stay open.
