There are five tracks T1 T2 T3 T4 T5
Chines ---Indian (Chinese is left of Indian)
Initial Position is V1 V2 V3 V4 V5 V6
Now from the 1st condition: V2 V5
From 2nd condition V6 V4 and none of them at position number three hence they cannot be at 1st three places
From 3rd condition V5 V1 V3
At 5th place even numbered book is placed.
From these information we can conclude that :-
V2 V5 V1 V3 V6 V4 hence 4 is correct.Correct Option: D

Since Sunil got the sixth and Ankit got the fifth rank, hence we can conclude that Raman must have got the highest and Tony must have got the least rank. And the order of ranks of Vicky, Priya and Ankit must be Vicky > Priya > Ankit. Vicky must have got the second or third rank and accordingly Priya must have got the third or ourth rank. Deepak mlust have got any rank among two, three and four.Correct Option: D

_ > _ > _ > _ C > A, E ...........(i)
B > D > _ > _ > _ > _ ...........(ii)
Since E did not score the least, we get B > D > F (81) > C > E (62) > A
is the correct answer; B's score is maximum according to above sequence. F has scored 81 marks. Then B's score = 81 + 13 = 94 marks and D is between B and F. D is most likely to score 89 marks.Correct Option: C
_ > _ > _ > _ C > A, E ...........(i)
