Seven students Priya, Ankit, Raman, Sunil, Tony, Deepak and Vicky take a series of tests. No two students get similar marks. Vicky always scores more than Priya. Priya always scores more than Ankit. Each time either Raman scores the highest and Tony gets the least, or alternatively Sunil scores the highest and Deepak or Ankit scores the least.
if Sunil is ranked sixth and Ankit is ranked fifth, which of the following can be true ?

Options

A. U gets more than V
B. V gets more than S
C. P gets more than R
D. P gets more than V

Answer

A

Explanation

We see that there is no information. Sentence (5) gives a definite information but is conditional . Still , we draw all the possibilities based on this sentence : (a) R __ __ __ __ __ T
or (b) S __ __ __ __ __ U
or (c) S __ __ __ __ __ Q
We see that two additional informations (3) and (4) are inadequate to reach a definite conclusion. Hence, Keeping these in mind, we move on to the questions.
S is ranked second means possibilities (b) and (c) are false. Hence possibility (a) is true.
