| Department | Research | Agriculture | Agriculture | Research | Research | Agriculture | Agriculture | Research |

Which of the following statements is NOT true?

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. **Maximum experience:** G has 11 years, which is the highest among all (max experience = 11).

2. **Qualification count:** Diploma holders are B, C, and E — exactly 3 persons.

3. **Marks order:** Marks in descending order: G(27), D(20), H(19), A(18), B(16), E(10), C(9), F(6).
   - A has the 4th highest marks, so statement "A gets the fourth highest marks" is true.

4. **Experience comparison with D:** D has 7 years experience.
   - Persons with more experience than D: C(10), F(8), G(11) → 3 persons only, not more than three.

Therefore, statement (d) "More than three persons have more experience than D" is false.

**Answer:** (d) More than three persons have more experience than D
