    Question

    K, L, M, W, X, Y and Z scored different marks in an exam. K scored more than both L and W but less than Y. X scored less than only Y. Neither L nor M scored the lowest marks. Z scored more than L but less than M. K scored more than M. Who scored the third-lowest marks?

    A.

    K

    B.

    Z

    C.

    L

    D.

    W

    Correct option is B

    ​​K scored more than both L and W but less than Y:
    K > L, K > W, Y > K
    X scored less than only Y:
    X is the second-highest scorer. Therefore, X < Y 
    Neither L nor M scored the lowest marks:
    L and M did not score the lowest marks.
    Z scored more than L but less than M:
    M > Z > L
    K scored more than M:
    K > M
    Arranging the scores in order:
    From the given clues:
    K > L, K > W, K > M, and K < Y.
    X < Y, and X > all except Y.
    M > Z > L.
    Now, let's arrange all the people in order of their scores based on these relationships:
    Y > X > K > M > Z > L > W
    The third-lowest scorer is Z.
    Thus, correct option is (b).
