Runs scored by 5 boys R, B, C, L and Q are compared. Runs of no two boys are same. Runs of B are less than Q but more than C. Runs of L are more than R but less than C. Which of the following is the correct sequence of runs scored by these boys?
I. Q > L > R
II. B > L > C
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
I. Q > L > R: Looking at our main sequence (Q > B > C > L > R), it is clear that Q has more runs than L and L has more runs than R. Therefore, conclusion I is correct.
II. B > L > C: According to the main sequence, B has more runs than C and C has more runs than L (i.e., B > C > L). But here C is shown to be less than L, hence conclusion II is wrong.
Therefore, only conclusion I clears the correct sequence.
