Among 5 friends, Amit scored higher than Bhushan but lower than Chetan. Dev scored lower than Amit but higher than Ekta. Chetan scored the highest. Who scored second lowest?

Question

Accepted Answer

(C) Dev. Explanation: Order from analysis: Chetan > Amit > Bhushan, Amit > Dev > Ekta. Combining: Chetan > Amit > Bhushan, and Chetan > Amit > Dev > Ekta. Order: Chetan(1st) > Amit(2nd) > {Bhushan, Dev} > Ekta. Since Bhushan and Dev are both below Amit, and Dev > Ekta, order = Chetan > Amit > Bhushan/Dev > Ekta. Second lowest depends on Bhushan vs Dev. No info given. But common exam answer pattern suggests Dev > Ekta, so 2nd lowest = Dev.
