Question:

Each of the seven friends, Kirti, Siya, Amita, Preeti, Deepika, Jeet and Pari, has scored different marks in an exam. Pari has scored more than Kirti but less than Siya. Deepika has scored less than Preeti but more than Amita. Kirti has scored more than Preeti. Siya is not the highest scorer. Who among the following has scored more than Pari?

Options:

Jeet

Deepika

Amita

Preeti

Correct Answer:

Jeet

Explanation:

 Pari has scored more than Kirti but less than Siya:

⇒ Siya > Pari > Kirti ⇒ Kirti < Pari < Siya

 Deepika has scored less than Preeti but more than Amita.

⇒ Amita < Deepika < Preeti

 Kirti has scored more than Preeti.

⇒ Preeti < Kirti

 Siya is not the highest scorer: This means Jeet is the highest scorer.

​⇒ Siya < Jeet​

Now,

⇒ Amita < Deepika < Preeti < Kirti < Pari < Siya < Jeet

Thus, Jeet and Siya have scored more than Pari. But in option there is only Jeet.

So, Jeet scored more than Pari.
