Correct option is A

Given:
​Six girls named A, B, C, D, E and F score different marks in an examination. B scores more marks than D.
The ratio between marks of D and E is 5: 8 respectively.
F scores 5 marks more than A.
C scores more marks than E.
B scores lesser marks than C.
The sum of marks obtained by D and E is 130.
The ratio between marks of A and D is 11:10 respectively.​​
Find D and E's marks
From D + E = 130 and D : E = 5 : 8:
5 parts + 8 parts = 13 parts
So, 1 part = 130 ÷ 13 = 10
Thus:
D = 5 × 10 = 50 marks
E = 8 × 10 = 80 marks
Find A's marks
Given A : D = 11 : 10, and D = 50.
Thus:
A = (11/10) × 50
A = 55 marks
Find F's marks
Given F scores 5 marks more than A.
Thus:
F = A + 5, F = 55 + 5
F = 60 marks
Find B and C's marks (relative comparison)
​C scores the highest marks among all (because C > E = 80, and B < C).
Now check the statements:
I. F scores 60 marks.
True (we found F = 60 marks)
II. C scores the highest marks.
True (C > E and B < C)
Thus, the correct option is: (a)
