Question

If R gets most, V should be ranked not lower than

• A. second
• B. third
• C. fourth
• D. fifth
• E. sixth

Answer 1

The correct option is C fourth

In terms of scores, we have :

V > P, P > Q i.e. V > P > Q.

If R scores the highest, we have R > ...... > T,

If S scores the highest, we have S > ...... > Q or S > ...... > U.

Again, if R ranks most, T ranks lowest and occupies seventh place. Since V always rank above P and Q, so in the maximum, P and Q will occupy fifth and sixth places.

Thus, V will not rank lower than fourth.
