Read the following information and answer the questions giver below it: *Seven students P,Q,R,S,T,U and V take a series of tests. *No two students get similar marks. *V always scores more than P. *P always scores more than Q. *Each time either R scores the highest and T gets the lest, or alternatively S scores the highest and U or Q scores the least. If S is ranked second, which of the following can be true ?

In terms of score we have V > P, P > Q i.e. V > P > Q If R score the highest, we have R >........> T, If S score the highest, we have S >..........> Q Or S >..........> U If S ranks second, R ranks first and T ranks lowest. The order V > P > Q will be followed. So, the arrangement will be R > S >? > ? > ? > ? > T. Clearly, statement (b),(c),(d) and (e) cannot follow. So, the answer is (a)
