In a test, Asha scored 64, Binu 71, Charu 58, Dinesh 77, Ekta 69 and Farid 62 marks. Later, 8 grace marks are added only to the students who scored below 65. Who is third from the top after the grace marks are added?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Binu
Add 8 marks only to the scores below 65, then rank all six from the highest.
Below 65: Asha 64, Charu 58, Farid 62
New marks: Asha \(64+8=72\), Charu \(58+8=66\), Farid \(62+8=70\)
Unchanged: Dinesh 77, Binu 71, Ekta 69
Order: Dinesh 77, Asha 72, Binu 71, Farid 70, Ekta 69, Charu 66
Third from the top: Binu
