Jane's net worth is twice as much as Mike's. Mike's net worth is 60% of Bridget's. Diane's net worth is 50% of Laura's. Laura's net worth is 190% of Jane's. Which of these 5 people owns the least?

(A) Bridget
(B) Diane
(C) Jane
(D) Laura
(E) Mike

i solved using values
given
j=2
m=0.6b
d=05L
L=1.9*J
so let b=60
then m=36
J=72
L=136.8
D=68.5
IMO E Mike has least

(A) Bridget
(B) Diane
(C) Jane
(D) Laura
(E) Mike


We can create the equations:

J = 2M

M = 0.6B

D = 0.5L

L = 1.9J

If B = 100, then M = 60, J = 120, L = 228 and D = 114.

So Mike owns the least.

Answer: E

I took a lot of time while trying out numbers, later realized that estimating Laura's worth is better.

B = 10
M = 6
J = 12
L = 1.9 x J = ~24
D = ~12

So, Mike has the least worth.
