Rahul 5th History 70
Srinath 6th English 50
Irrespective of the last condition, the entire table can be obtained. Therefore, all the 3 statements can be inferred

4) Answer (C)

Sachin 1st Maths 10
Saurav 2nd Biology 30
Sehwag 3rd Physics 20
Anil 4th Chemistry 40
Srinath 6th English 50

Saurav 2nd Biology 30
Sehwag 3rd Physics 20
Anil 4th Chemistry 40
Srinath 6th English 50
Laxman 7th Geography 60
Rahul 5th History 70
Sum of IDs of all the persons whose name starts with ‘S’ = 10 + 30 + 20 + 50 = 110
Sum of IDs of remaining people = 40 + 60 + 70 = 170
Therefore ratio = 110 : 170 = 11 : 17
