Correct Option: D
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 S ranks 2nd, R ranks 1st and T ranks lowest. The order V > P > Q will be followed. out of all the given options, only the arrangement given as per option (d)i.e., R > S > U > V >P > Q > T is possible. Clearly, options (a), (b) and (c) cannot follow . So option (d) is correct.
