Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
From the statements: E is the lightest → E = least.
A > B.
C = D (same weight).
F > A and F < D. Since D = C and F is less than D, C/D are heaviest (tied). F is next below them (because F < D but > A). So the order (top to bottom) is: C = D (heaviest) → F (second heaviest) → A → B → E.
Hence F is the second heaviest.
