Option 2 : S & V

Seven Students: P, Q, R, S, T, U, and V.

Marks: 40, 42, 45, 46, 48 & 50 (not necessarily in the same order).

1) Two students have got the same marks as 46.

2) P has not got the lowest marks nor 46.

Possible options for P are 42, 45, 48.

3) Q has got the highest marks.

4) U has got higher marks than P.

Possible options for U are 45, 48, 46.

So, now only two options left for P i.e. 42, 45.

5) R has got lower marks than T whereas T got lower marks than P.

This means both R and T have got lower marks than P.

So, P has got 45 marks.

6) S has got lower marks than U.

Since S has got lower marks than U and not the same, possible options for U are 48, 46. So, U’s marks are 48 and hence S’s marks are 46.
