    Given
    In a class, six students named P, Q, R, S, T and U obtain different marks out of total 100 marks.
    The ratio between marks of T and S is 2: 3 respectively.
    P obtains 50% marks.
    R obtains 5 marks less than P.
    U obtains 1.5 times of the marks obtained by P.
    T obtains less marks U but more marks than R.
    Q obtains 20 marks more than T.
    The ratio between marks of T and U is 4: 5 respectively.
    All have different marks
    T : S = 2 : 3
    P = 50% of 100 = 50 marks
    R = P - 5 = 45 marks
    U = 1.5 × P = 1.5 × 50 = 75 marks
    T < U but T > R
    Q = T + 20
    T : U = 4 : 5 → So, T = (4/5) × U = (4/5) × 75 = 60 marks
    (Check: 60:75 = 4:5)
    Final marks:
    P = 50, Q = 80, R = 45, S = 90, T = 60, U = 75
    I. S obtains 90% marks which are the highest among all. (True)
    II. The ratio between marks of P and Q is 5 : 8 respectively. (True)
    So, Both I and II are true.
    Thus, correct option is (d).
