Question

Among them who scored the second highest marks?

• A. Ninja
• B. Mahoud
• C. Chandru
• D. Raul

Answer 1

The correct option is B Mahoud

Let the marks scored by Charles, David, Hanish, Kedar, Mahoud, Ninja and Raul be represented by C, D, H, K, M, N and R respectively.
From (a), all scored distinct marks:
From (b), C $>$ K $>$ D
From (c), H $>$ M, N $>$ R
From (d), Kedar scored the fourth highest marks.
From (e), M $>$ C
From (c), R is not the least marks scored.
D is the least.
From (b), (c) and (e), H $>$ M $>$ C $>$ K $>$ D
As K is the fourth highest score and D the lowest score and as N $>$ R, N and R must be the fifth and sixth highest scores respectively.

H $>$ M $>$ C $>$ K $>$ N $>$ R $>$ D

Mahoud scored the second highest marks.
