    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

    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 is ranked 6th and Q is ranked 5th , we have
    O > O > O > O > Q > S > O
    In this case, R will rank the highest and thus T will rank the least.
    we have, R > O > O > O > Q > S > T
    Also, the order V > P > Q will be maintained
    The possible arrangement are
    R > U > V > P > Q > S > T
    or R > V > U > P > Q > S > T
    or R > V > P > U > Q > S > T
    Thus, option (d),i.e, U can be ranked third or fourth is true.

    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.
