In a group of five athletes, P, Q, R, S, and T, P is faster than Q but slower than R. S is faster than T but slower than P. Who is the slowest?

In a group of five athletes, P, Q, R, S, and T, P is faster than Q but slower than R. S is faster than T but slower than P. Who is the slowest?

Step 1: Identify the relationships given in the question.
Step 2: From 'P is faster than Q but slower than R', we can write the order as R > P > Q.
Step 3: From 'S is faster than T but slower than P', we can write the order as P > S > T.
Step 4: Now we combine the two orders: R > P > Q and S > T > P.
Step 5: From the combined orders, we can see that R is the fastest, followed by P, then S, then Q, and finally T.
Step 6: Therefore, T is the slowest athlete.
