From statement II alone, we get, Clues: 1. A scored more marks than W but scored less number of marks F and C. 2. B scored more number of marks than at least three students. Inference: From clue 1, we get, C, F > A > E From clue 2, we get B is either highest or second highest or third highest mark scorer.
