The weight of X, in kg, is denoted by X. The weights of A, B, C, D, P, Q, R and S are measured. Given: A + B + C + D = 17 A + C = 6 P + Q + S + D = 15 P + Q + R + B = 17 P = R and Q = S Which one of the following statements is correct?

Explanation

From A + C = 6, we find that A and C weigh 6 kg together. Since P + Q + S + D = 15 and P + Q + R + B = 17, substituting Q = S and P = R gives us 2P + B + D = 17. Since D from the first equation (A + B + C + D = 17) can be substituted in, the weight of P and Q can be shown to exceed 6 kg, confirming that P and Q weigh more than A and C combined.
