Previous Year Questions

It is given that,

A class consists of 32 students. Each student secured different marks as well as different ranks.

From statement I alone:

Only seven students secured more marks than U.

7 persons > U > 24 students

Four students secured different marks between S and Y.

So, no definite arrangement can be established.

So, statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

From statement II alone:

R secured 17^th rank. Only five students secured less marks than S.

16 students > R > 9 students > S > 5 students

So, no definite arrangement can be established.

So, statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

From statement I and II together:

16 students > R > 9 students > S > 5 students

7 students > U > 8 students > R > 9 students > S > 5 students

Four students secured different marks between S and Y.

Therefore,

Case 1: 7 students > U > 8 students > R > 9 students > S > 4 students > Y

Case 2: 7 students > U > 8 students > R > 4 students > Y > 4 students > S > 5 students

So, no definite arrangement can be established.

Thus, statement I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.
