In a quiz, Tarun scored 9 points more than Usha. Usha scored 4 points less than Vinay. Wasim scored 2 points more than Vinay, and Yogita scored 6 points less than Tarun. Who scored the third highest points among the five?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → Vinay
Measure every score from Usha’s score; then the five players can be put in order.
Tarun scored 9 more than Usha: Usha + 9
Usha scored 4 less than Vinay, so Vinay scored Usha + 4
Wasim scored 2 more than Vinay: Usha + 6
Yogita scored 6 less than Tarun: Usha + 3
Order: Tarun (+9), Wasim (+6), Vinay (+4), Yogita (+3), Usha (+0)
The third highest is Vinay
