Among five people — A, B, C, D and E — each scoring different marks, only two persons scored more marks than A. D scored more than A. B scored less than D but not the lowest. C scored more than B but not the highest. Who amongst them did score the lowest marks?
Let us give ranks to each person, where 1 -> highest marks and 5 -> lowest marks.
Only two persons scored more marks than A, => A's rank is 3 and he is in the middle.
Also, D and C scored more than B but B is not the lowest, => B's rank is 4 and C and D are either 1 or 2.
This leaves with the only option that the lowest marks are scored by E.
$$\therefore$$ C, D > A > B > E
Thus, E scored the lowest marks.
=> Ans - (C) : E
