  1. A.

    T and S

  2. B.

    R and S

  3. C.

    S and R

  4. D.

    T and Q

Answer

A

Explanation

6 positions from heaviest (1) to lightest (6): S is lighter than only Q   ⟹  \implies Q is 1st, S is 2nd. P is heavier than 3 persons   ⟹  \implies P is 3rd. Remaining 4th, 5th, 6th positions for T, R, U. R is lighter than T and R is not the lightest   ⟹  \implies T is 4th, R is 5th, U is 6th. Order: Q > S > P > T > R > U. Lighter than P is T; heavier than P is S. So T and S respectively.
