The scores of seven batsman B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6 and B7 are compared. The score of B1 is greater than B7 and B3. The score of B6 is neither more nor less than the score of B4 but more than B1. B5 scored less than only one batsman. The score of B7 is not the least score.
How many batsmen scored more than B4?

Solution

The score of B1 is greater than B7 and B3.

B1>B7,B3    Eq.(i)

The score of B6 is neither more nor less than the score of B4 but more than B1.

B6=B4>B1    Eq.(ii)

Merge Eq.(i) and Eq.(ii).

B6=B4>B1>B7,B3

B5 scored less than only one batsman. The score of B7 is not the least score.

>B5>B6=B4>B1>B7>B3

Now only B2 is remaining which can be placed in the blank space.

B2>B5>B6=B4>B1>B7>B3

Two batsmen scored more than B4.
