    Solution

    The number of students, who scored more marks than J is same as the number of students, who scored less marks than M. The marks of J is not highest. ____ > J > ____ > ____  > ____  > ____  > M > ____ ……. (I) ____ > ____ > J > ____  > ____  > M  > ____ > ____ ……….. (II) The marks of J is more than Q and L. L, whose marks is less than Q has more marks than M and P. The marks P is not lowest. The marks of O is just less than K. Case 1 gets eliminated as we can't place O and K. ____ > J > ____ > ____  > ____  > ____  > M > ____ ……. (I) O's marks is second highest and K's marks is highest. The marks of N is the lowest. K > O > J > Q  > L  > M  > P > N ……….. (II) The marks of L is 350 and the difference between the marks of L and N is 150. K > O > J > Q  > L(350)  > M  > P > N (200) Therefore, the final arrangement is as follows: K > O > J > Q > L (350) > M > P > N (200)
