Seven students of a coaching centre, Param, Qazi, Ravi, Suresh, Tanvir, Uday and Varsha, have obtained different percentages. Param scored the second-highest percentage in the centre. The percentage scored by Varsha was more than only one person. Suresh's percentage was more than Tanvir's but less than Param's. Three people got more percentage than Tanvir and three got lesser than Tanvir. Neither Ravi nor Qazi received the lowest percentage. Whose percentage was the lowest?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Uday.
According to given information,
1) Param scored the second-highest percentage in the centre. Three people got more percentage than Tanvir and three got lesser than Tanvir.
____ > Param > ____ > Tanvir > _____ > _______ > ____
2) The percentage scored by Varsha was more than only one person.
_____ > Param > _____ > Tanvir > _____ > Varsha > _____
3) Suresh's percentage was more than Tanvir's but less than Param's.
_____ > Param > Suresh > Tanvir > _____ > Varsha > _____
4) Neither Ravi nor Qazi received the lowest percentage. So, the possibilities are:
Qazi/Ravi > Param > Suresh > Tanvir > Qazi/Ravi > Varsha > _____
So, the remaining place will be of Uday
Qazi/Ravi > Param > Suresh > Tanvir > Qazi/Ravi > Varsha > Uday
Thus, Uday's percentage was the lowest.
Hence, Uday is the correct answer.
