Answer:
Let the mass of a pumpkin, a pineapple and a pomelo be x, y and z respectively. To simplify the problem, remove 1 pumpkin from each plate.
We then have: Since 2y is less than 2z, so y is less than z. Since 2z is less than x + y, and y is less than z, then x has to be more than z. Hence, y is less than z, which is less than x. Therefore, y + z is less than 2z but more than 2y, so D should be placed between A and B.
Answer:
Ten boys played a total of 9 + 8 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 45 games.

45 × 3 = 135 points would have been given out if there were no draws.
135 – 125 = 10 points
10 games were draws.

The total number of storybooks that John and Lionel have is 20.
The total number of storybooks that Ken and Lionel have is 31.
Answer:
Total number that John, Ken and Lionel have = (25 + 20 + 31) ÷ 2 = 38
Number of books Lionel has = 38 – 25 = 13
Number of books Ken has = 38 – 20 = 18
Number of books John has = 38 – 31 = 7
Ken has the most number of books. He has 18 books.
