Paula =A

Peter =B

Patrick= C

A>B

C<B or B>c

1-->A>C

A>B and B>C

So A>C

True

2-->B<C,Not true(as B>C)

3-->C>A,Not true(as A>C)

So option 2 and 3 are not true.

OA D

May be I am off today ....... But I go with only III being the right answer.

Paula > Peter > Patrick

I - Yes true
II - Peter weighs less than Paula. True
III - Patrick weighs more than Paula - not true

Hence C

OA Please?
