Question

In an examination, Raj got more marks than Mukesh but not as many as Priya.

Priya get more marks than Gaurav and Kavita.

Gaurav got less marks than Mukesh but his marks are not the lowest in the group.

Who is second in the descending order of marks?

• A. Priya
• B. Kavita
• C. Raj
• D. Cannot be determined
• E. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is C Raj

We can analyse the information as follows,

Raj got more marks than Mukesh but not as many as Priya.

Priya > Raj > Mukesh

Priya get more marks than Gaurav and Kavita.

Gaurav got less marks than Mukesh but his marks are not the lowest.

So, we can arrange the marks in descending order as

Priya > Raj > Mukesh > Guarav > Kavita.

Clearly, Raj is second in the descending order of marks.

Hence C is the answer.
