    Question

    Seven people A, B, C, D, E, F and G, scored different marks (out of 100) in an exam. G scored the lowest marks. B scored second highest marks, which were 80. A scored 72. E scored more than F but less than C. Marks scored by C were a multiple of 11 and less than 70. The sum of marks scored by C and F was 120. What is the score of F?

    A.

    56

    B.

    54

    C.

    50

    D.

    55

    Correct option is B

    Given:
    7 people: A, B, C, D, E, F, G
    All scored different marks
    G scored the lowest
    B scored second highest, which is 80
    A = 72
    E > F but < C
    C's marks: A multiple of 11
    Less than 70
    C + F = 120
    Multiples of 11 under 70:
    11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66
    C + F = 120
    if C = 66
    Then F = 120 - 66 = 54
    Now verify:
    E > F = 54
    E < C = 66
    So E must be between 54 and 66, which is possible.
    Also, marks so far:
    G = lowest
    F = 54
    E = between 54 and 66
    C = 66
    A = 72
    B = 80 (2nd highest)
     So 1 person (say D) must be above 80
     Everything fits if C = 66, F = 54
    Correct answer is (b) 54.
