Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

To solve the problem, let's analyze the given conditions and options:

We have seven students: Priya, Ankit, Raman, Sunil, Tony, Deepak, and Vicky. The rankings provided are:

• Sunil is ranked sixth.
• Ankit is ranked fifth.

Additional information includes:

• Vicky always scores more than Priya.
• Priya scores more than Ankit.
• Either Raman scores the highest and Tony the least, or Sunil scores the highest and Deepak or Ankit the least.

We need to determine which statement is true:

1. Vicky is ranked first or fourth.
2. Raman is ranked second or third.
3. Tony is ranked fourth or fifth.
4. Deepak is ranked third or fourth.

Given the options:

4. If Deepak scores the least when Sunil scores the highest, he could be ranked third or fourth, aligning with some scenarios against the sequence constraints and conditions, possibly more in line with being between those who score less than Vicky but not as low as Tony. This option remains plausible based on the flexible conditions provided.

Therefore, the correct statement is the fourth option: Deepak is ranked third or fourth.

Answer 2

To determine the rank of Vicky when Raman scores the highest, we need to analyze the given conditions. We have the following information about the scores and rankings of seven students: Priya, Ankit, Raman, Sunil, Tony, Deepak, and Vicky.

1. Raman either scores the highest, with Tony getting the least, or Sunil scores the highest, with either Deepak or Ankit getting the least.
2. Vicky always scores more than Priya.
3. Priya always scores more than Ankit.

When Raman scores the highest:

• Placement of Raman: 1st
• Placement of Tony: 7th (least)

Now with Tony at the lowest rank, the remaining students are Vicky, Priya, Ankit, Sunil, and Deepak. Since we know:

• Vicky > Priya > Ankit, Vicky will be placed higher than Priya and Ankit.

Possible ranking positions when considering no ties and unique ordering: 1. Raman, 2. Sunil, 3. Vicky, 4. Priya, 5. Deepak, 6. Ankit, 7. Tony

• Since Sunil, Deepak, and Ankit are the changeable positions depending on who scores the highest or least when Raman scores at the top, the chain leaves Vicky at a potential:
  • Maximum position achievable: 4th (after Sunil, since Vicky must be above Priya and Ankit)

Conclusion: If Raman gets the highest, Vicky should be ranked not lower than Fourth.

Answer 3

To determine which statement must be true given the rankings of Raman and Ankit, we first need to analyze the information:

• Seven students: Priya, Ankit, Raman, Sunil, Tony, Deepak, and Vicky.
• No two students get similar marks.
• Vicky always scores more than Priya.
• Priya always scores more than Ankit.
• Either Raman scores the highest and Tony gets the least, or Sunil scores the highest and Deepak or Ankit scores the least.

Given that Ankit is ranked first and Raman is ranked second, we need to understand the original conditions:

• If Raman scored highest, then normally Tony should be last, but this is not the case with Ankit being the first.
• If Sunil scored the highest, then either Deepak or Ankit should be last; this also is not the case.

Since Ankit is ranked first, this does not align with either scenario presented for who scores the highest and who the last is supposed to be. Hence, no further deductions can be made about the third rank based on the given scenarios and conditions.

Therefore, none of the options for the third position is compulsory. Our answer is:

None of these.

Answer 4

To solve this logical reasoning problem, we must evaluate the statements given the conditions: Seven students Priya, Ankit, Raman, Sunil, Tony, Deepak, and Vicky take a series of tests with distinct marks. We know Vicky > Priya > Ankit, and depending on the highest scorer, either Raman scores highest and Tony scores least, or Sunil scores highest with Deepak or Ankit scoring least. Since Sunil is ranked second, we explore the options:

• If Deepak scores more than Vicky, it's consistent with Sunil being second, such that another student, likely Raman, can score higher.
• Vicky scoring more than Sunil contradicts Sunil being second. 
• Priya scoring more than Raman is possible but not necessarily related to Sunil being second.
• Priya scoring more than Vicky contradicts Vicky > Priya.

Thus, the valid situation where Sunil secures the second rank is when Deepak gets more than Vicky.

Answer 5

Based on the given information, we need to determine which condition must be true if Vicky is ranked fifth among the seven students: Priya, Ankit, Raman, Sunil, Tony, Deepak, and Vicky. The conditions to consider are:

1. Vicky scores more than Priya. 
2. Priya scores more than Ankit.
3. Either Raman scores the highest and Tony the least, or Sunil scores the highest and Deepak or Ankit the least.

Let's evaluate the options:

1. If Raman scores the highest, Tony scores the least. Vicky is fifth, meaning these conditions hold for others:
   • Possible order: [Raman, Sunil, Deepak, Priya, Vicky, Ankit, Tony].
   • Here, Ankit is not second.
2. If Sunil scores the highest, Deepak or Ankit scores the least. Vicky is fifth:
   • Possible order with Deepak least: [Sunil, Raman, Tony, Priya, Vicky, Ankit, Deepak].
   • Possible order with Ankit least: [Sunil, Raman, Tony, Priya, Vicky, Deepak, Ankit].
   • In neither scenario is Ankit second or Tony third.

Thus, the only consistent truth across all scenarios where Vicky is fifth is that Sunil scores the highest. Therefore, the correct option is: "Sunil scores the highest."
