Five students, Aman, Neetu, Kavya, Sunil, and Manisha are in the top five ranks in the ranking of the school. Aman's rank is just above Neetu. Kavya ranks second. Aman is ranked between Manisha and Neetu. Who has the top rank in the school? Correct Answer Sunil

According to the question:

There are five students are arranged on basis of their ranking.

The ranking of Kavya is second.

1

 

2 Kavya
3  
4  
5

 

 

Aman's ranking is just above Neetu. Aman is between Manisha and Neetu.

Hence, Aman is just above Neetu and just below Manisha.

Manisha

Aman 

Neetu

 

The above pattern is only possible when Manisha is ranked in the third position.

1  
2 Kavya
3 Manisha
4 Aman
5 Neetu

 

Now, only one place is vacant in which Sunil will be placed.

1 Sunil
2 Kavya
3 Manisha
4 Aman
5 Neetu

 

Now, this is the final arrangement.

It can be clearly seen that Sunil has top rank in school.

Hence, the correct answer is "Sunil".
