S's score was more than T but less than P. Three people got higher than T and three got lesser than T. Neither R nor Q received the lowest marks. Given that no two students have the same marks, whose marks were the lowest?

Options:

S

U

T

V

Correct Answer:

U

Explanation:

Marks obtained by the seven students of a tuition class, P, Q, R, S, T, U, and V, are mentioned.

1) P scored the second highest marks in the class.

2) Marks scored by V were more than only one of the persons.

So, _> P> _> _> _> V> _

3) S's score was more than T but less than P.

4) Three people got higher than T and three got lesser than T.

(It means T is scored middle of the class)

So, _> P> S> T> _> V> _

5) Neither R nor Q received the lowest marks.

(It means U scored the lowest marks on the tuition test)

So, _> P> S> T> _> V> U

The position of R and U is not cleared from the above-given information.

R/Q > P > ST > R/Q > V> U

Thus, U scored the lowest marks.
