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).
