Question

There are six persons S, T, U, V, W, and X who scored different marks in an examination. The following information is given:

- S scored more marks than only U and X.
- T scored less marks than W.
- W did not score the highest marks in the examination.
- The person with the second highest marks scored 92 marks.

How many persons scored more marks than U?

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. From the statement, S scored more marks than only U and X. This means S is ranked 4th because only two persons scored less than S.

2. Since S is 4th, U and X must be ranked 5th and 6th in some order.

3. T scored less than W, so W is ranked higher than T.

4. W did not get the highest marks, so the highest scorer must be V.

5. The second highest scorer got 92 marks, so W is second with 92 marks.

6. The order of marks from highest to lowest is:
   - V (1st)
   - W (2nd, 92 marks)
   - T (3rd)
   - S (4th)
   - U/X (5th/6th)

7. The question asks how many persons scored more than U.

8. Since U is either 5th or 6th, the number of persons who scored more than U is 4 (V, W, T, and S).
