Seven cricketers (J, K, L, M, N, O and P) scored different numbers of runs in a match. M scored more runs than N but less than K. J scored more runs than P but less than O. L doesn’t score lowest number of runs but less than N. N doesn’t scored 4th highest number of runs. O scored more runs than N but less than M.

    E 52 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    M + N = 88

    52 + N = 88

    N = 88 – 52 = 36.

    N + P = 66

    36 + P = 66

    P = 66 – 36 = 30.

    L will scored number of runs between 30 and 36.

    M scored more runs than N but less than K. L doesn’t score lowest number of runs but less than N. N doesn’t scored 4th highest number of runs.

    K > M > N > L

    J scored more runs than P but less than O. O scored more runs than N but less than M. Cricketer, who scored 2nd highest number of runs, scored 52 runs.

    K > M (65) > O > N > J > L > P

    The final arrangement is as follow:

    K > M (65) > O > J > N > L > P
