Q. 5 persons R,S,T,U,V are contesting for a medal. Evaluation is over English, Maths, Physics, Chemistry and Hindi. Toper will get 5 marks, least will get 1 mark. No ties any where. R get 24 and won the overall medal. V gets first in Chemistry and third in Hindi, T got consistent scores in 4 subjects. Their final standings where in the alphabetical order. What was the score of S in Chemistry.

• only see the marks of chemistry
  there are 5 persons R S T U V ...
  V get frist mean V=5;
  R get 24 total mean 5 in eng+5 in Math+ 5in phy+5 in HIndi+4 in chemistry(Because V have 5)=24
  T get Consistent score mean avg =2 in 4 sub so t=2 in chemistry
  at last S and U in alphabetic order so s > U ..S=3 marks and U= 1 marks
  R S T U V
  4 3 2 1 5

• according to question,R S T U V are in alphabetical order and V is first in chem
  so following table is the only possible way:-
  p c m e h
  R 5 4 5 5 5 24
  S 3
  T 2
  U 1
  V 5 3

• rank eng math phy chem hindi
  1 r r r v r
  2 r
  3 v
  4
  5
  as t gets consistent marks in each subject so either it is 4th position or 5th
  so the only space which is left is 3rd so s score 3rd in chemistry
