What conclusion can be definitely drawn from the above statement ?

Option:
A. Jaya is poorer than Pritam.
B. Mohan is richer than Amit.
C. Lalit is poorer than Hitesh.
D. Pritam is richer than Lalit
Answer: C . Lalit is poorer than Hitesh.

Justification:

In terms of richness, we have :

So, we have : Lalit = Jaya < Hitesh < Amit and Pritam < Mohan.
Clearly, Lalit is poorer than Hitesh.
