Which of the following statements would be sufficient to identify the one with the lowest marks?

Solution

Let A,B,C,D,E,F represents Anita, Biplove, Cheryl, Danish, Emily and Feroze respectively.

Statement I : It is not sufficient as nothing is mentioned about D and F.

Statement II : E = F, thus E and F cannot score the lowest.

The only person left with the lowest marks can be D.

Thus, statement II alone is sufficient.
