Given:

Statement I: Rohan is heavier than Dilip and Kunal, but lighter than Mahesh.

Mahesh > Rohan > Dilip and Mahesh > Rohan > Kunal. However, we don't know the exact relationship between Dilip and Kunal, but we know Mahesh is the heaviest among those explicitly compared here.

So, from Statement I, the heaviest is Mahesh.

Statement II: Dilip is lighter than Rohan and Mahesh, but heavier than Kunal.

Rohan and Mahesh  > Dilip > Kunal. This statement alone does not tell us who is the heaviest between Rohan and Mahesh.

ThusStatement I alone is sufficient, but statement II alone is not sufficient

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".
