-
If R is ranked second and Q is ranked fifth, which of these must be true ?
-

- P is ranked third
- V is ranked fourth
- T is ranked sixth
Correct Option: D
According to question,
V always scored more than P.
V > P
P always scored more than Q.
P > Q
? V > P > Q
If R Score highest, we have
R >.......> T
If S Score highest, we have
S >.......> Q or S >.......> U
If R is ranked 2nd, S will rank 1st and Q or U lowest but Q ranks 5th. so, U ranks lowest. Also, the order V > P > Q will be followed.
∴ Arrangement
S > R > V > P > Q > T > U
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Hence, 6th place will be occupied by T.
