Eight carpenter buys different sizes of wooden planks having the same eights. The length and breadth of the wooden planks are 21, 25, 36, 49, 60, 72, 75, and 96 but not necessarily in the same order. The length and breadth of each plank are different except for one.

The difference between the breadth and length of the planks bought by Z is 47. The breadth and length of the planks bought by W are the perfect square but are not the same. Also, neither the length nor breadth of W is 49. The length of the planks bought by T is the multiple of 25. The sum of breadths of the planks bought by V and X is equal to the length of the planks bought by S. The plank which has the highest length has the least breadth. The breadth and length of the planks bought by T are the same. The difference between the breadths of the planks bought by T and Y is 3. The length of the planks bought by X is more than that of the planks bought by Y. The breadth of the planks bought by U is one less than double the breadth of the planks bought by W. The length of the plank bought by U is more than the length of the plank bought by Y. The sum of the breadth and length of the planks bought by V is equal to the breadth of the planks bought by Z.
