Who scored the highest among P, Q, R, S and T?
Statement I: Q scored more than S, but not as much as R.
Statement II: T scored more than R, but not more than P.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Both statements together are sufficient, but neither statement is alone sufficient.
To name the highest scorer, the order must place one person above all the other four.
Statement I alone: R > Q > S. Nothing is said about P and T, so the highest cannot be found.
Statement II alone: T scored more than R, and P scored at least as much as T, so P ≥ T > R. Nothing is said about Q and S, so either of them could be above P.
Both together: P ≥ T > R > Q > S, so no one scored more than P, and P is the highest scorer.
