In a test, Arun scored 12 marks more than Bina. Bina scored 5 marks less than Chirag. Deepa scored 3 marks more than Chirag, and Esha scored 8 marks less than Arun. Who scored the second highest marks among the five?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → Deepa
Measure every score from Bina’s score; then the five students can be put in order.
Arun scored 12 more than Bina: Bina + 12
Bina scored 5 less than Chirag, so Chirag scored Bina + 5
Deepa scored 3 more than Chirag: Bina + 8
Esha scored 8 less than Arun: Bina + 4
Order: Arun (+12), Deepa (+8), Chirag (+5), Esha (+4), Bina (+0)
The second highest is Deepa
