Statement I: Exactly two members scored less than Cheryl.
Statement II: Emily and Feroze scored the same marks.

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.

Also, C scored higher than at least 2 and B scored more than D while A scored the highest.

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

Thus, statement II alone is sufficient.
