      Question

      If the sum of runs scored by M and N is 88 and the sum

      of runs scored by N and P is 66, then what is the probable number of runs scored by L? Answer the questions based on the information given below. 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. Cricketer, who scored 2nd highest number of runs, scored 65 runs.

      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
