• B. Deepika
• C. Amita
• D. Preeti

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Jeet

Solution: Here, we have some information given and using that, we need to find out the answer. According to the given information: 1) Pari has scored more than Kirti but less than Siya: ⇒ Siya > Pari > Kirti ⇒ Kirti < Pari < Siya 2) Deepika has scored less than Preeti but more than Amita. ⇒ Amita < Deepika < Preeti 3) Kirti has scored more than Preeti. ⇒ Preeti < Kirti 4) Siya is not the highest scorer: This means Jeet is the highest scorer. ​⇒ Siya < Jeet​ Next, we will combine all the statements and we will get, ⇒ Amita < Deepika < Preeti < Kirti < Pari < Siya < Jeet Thus, Jeet and Siya have scored more than Pari. But in option there is only Jeet. So, Jeet scored more than Pari. Hence, the correct answer is Jeet.
