If R is ranked second and Q is ranked fifth, which of the following must be true ?
- A. S is ranked third
- B. S is ranked third
- C. S is ranked third
- D. S is ranked third
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
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
If R is ranked second, S will rank first and Q and U lowest. But Q ranks fifth.So U ranks lowest.
Also the order V > P > Q will be followed.
So,the arrangement will be S > R > V > Q > ? >U.
Thus, the sixth place will be occupied by T.
