Six students (L, M, N, O, P, and Q) scored different marks in an exam. O scored more than Q and L. Three students scored more than P, who scored just more than M. O does not score the highest number of marks. If L scored more marks than P, then who scored the lowest number of marks?

Solution

Three students scored more than P, who scored just more than M. O scored more than Q and L. O does not score the highest number of marks. We will get E scored the 4th highest number of marks. M scored the 5th highest number of marks. N scored the highest number of marks, O scored the 2nd highest number of marks. Either Q or L scored the 3rd highest or lowest number of marks. The correct order of students according to number of marks scored by them: N > O > Q/L > P > M > L/Q Now, If L scored more marks than P, then, Q scored the lowest number of marks. N > O > L > P > M > Q Q scored the lowest number of marks.
