If S is ranked sixth and Q is ranked fifth, which of the following can be true ?
Answer: D
In terms of scores, we have :
V > P, P > Q i.e. V > P > Q.
If R scores the highest, we have R > ...... > T,
If S scores the highest, we have S > ...... > Q or S > ...... > U.
If S is ranked sixth and Q is ranked fifth, we have :
? > ? > ? > ? > Q > S > ?.
In the case, R will rank the highest and thus T will rank the least.
We have :
R > ? > ? > ? > Q > S > T.
Also. the roder V > P > Q will be maintained i.e. V and P will have second, third or fourth places. So, statements (a), (b), (c) and (e) cannot follow. Thus, (d) is the answer.
