Jawed scored 23 marks in a class test. Shakeel scored 1 mark more than Jawed, but 1 mark less than Azhar. Siraj scored 4 marks more than Aftab, and 2 marks less than Shakeel. Who scored the highest marks in the given test? Correct Answer Azhar

1) Jawed scored 23 marks in a class test.

Shakeel scored 1 mark more than Jawed, but 1 mark less than Azhar

Therefore, Shakeel’s marks = 23 + 1 = 24

Azhar’s marks = Shakeel’s marks + 1 = 25

Thus, we get Azhar > Shakeel > Jawed.

2) Siraj scored 4 marks more than Aftab, and 2 marks less than Shakeel.

Siraj’s marks = Shakeel’s marks - 2 = 24 - 2 = 22

and Aftab’s marks = Siraj’s marks - 4 = 22 - 4 = 18.

Thus, we get Shakeel > Siraj > Aftab

Now, we have the following order:

Azhar > Shakeel > Jawed > Siraj > Aftab

Hence, Azhar scored the highest marks in the given test.
