Direction: Read the following information carefully and answer the question that follow.
I. Seven students P, Q, R, S, T, U and V take a series of tests.
II. No two students get similar marks.
III. V always scored more than P.
IV. P always scored more than Q.
V. Each time either R scored the highest and T gets the least or alternatively S scores the highest and U or Q scores the least.
-
If R gets the most, V should be ranked not lower than
-
- second
- third
- fourth
- fifth
Correct Option: C
According to question,
V always scored more than P.
V > P
P always scored more than Q.
P > Q
∴ V > P > Q
If R Score highest, we have
R >.......> T
If S Score highest, we have
S >.......> Q or S >.......> U
If R gets the most, T ranks lowest and occupies seventh place. Since V always ranks above P and Q, so at the maximum, P and Q will occupy fifth and sixth places.
Hence, V Will not rank lower than fourth.
