Columbus and Leelavati, which are located in different states. One of the children is named Binod. Lancer school’s contestant did not come first. Leelavati school’s contestant’s name is Rahman. Columbus school is not located in Andhra Pradesh. The contestant from Maharashtra got third place and is not from Leelavati School. The contestant from Karnataka did not secure first position. Columbus school’s contestant’s name is not Badal. Which of the following statements is TRUE?

Solution

Rahman is from Leelavati. Since Badal is not from Columbus, he is from Lancer. Thus, Binod is from Columbus.

Since schools from Maharastra(Rank 3) and Karnataka did not secure the first position, schools from Andhra Pradesh secured the first rank.

Lancer did not come first, and Columbus was not from Andhra Pradesh. Thus, Leelavati school secure the first rank.

Thus, the only possible correct answer from the options is A.
