In a test, Gopi scored 58, Hemant 66, Irfan 61, Jasmin 72, Komal 54 and Lavanya 64 marks. Later, 9 grace marks are added only to the students who scored below 62. Who is third from the top after the grace marks are added?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → Gopi
Add 9 marks only to the scores below 62, then rank all six from the highest.
Below 62: Gopi 58, Irfan 61, Komal 54
New marks: Gopi \(58+9=67\), Irfan \(61+9=70\), Komal \(54+9=63\)
Unchanged: Hemant 66, Jasmin 72, Lavanya 64
Order: Jasmin 72, Irfan 70, Gopi 67, Hemant 66, Lavanya 64, Komal 63
Third from the top: Gopi
