Five teams, Lotus, Rose, Tulip, Lily and Daisy, took part in a quiz, and no two teams got the same score. Rose scored more than Tulip but less than Daisy. Lily scored less than Tulip. Lotus scored more than Daisy. Which team got the third highest score?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Rose
Join the comparisons into one chain from the highest score to the lowest, then count down to the third place.
Rose scored more than Tulip but less than Daisy: Daisy > Rose > Tulip
Lily scored less than Tulip: Daisy > Rose > Tulip > Lily
Lotus scored more than Daisy: Lotus > Daisy > Rose > Tulip > Lily
All five teams are in one chain, so the third highest score is that of Rose
