If Sunil is ranked sixth and Ankit is ranked fifth, which of the following can be true?

A.	Vicky is ranked first or fourth	B.	Raman is ranked second or third
C.	Tony is ranked fourth or fifth	D.	Deepak is ranked third or fourth

Answer and Explanation

Answer:Deepak is ranked third or fourth

Explanation:
Vicky always scores more than Priya and Priya always scores more than Ankit. Thus, Vicky's rank is always numerically lower than Priya's and Priya's rank is always numerically lower than Ankit's.
Either of the following two situations take place. If Raman scores the highest, then Tony scores the least or if Sunil scores the highest, then Deepak or Ankit scores the least. Thus, if Raman is ranked 1st, then Tony is ranked 7th and if Sunil is ranked 1st, then either Deepak of Ankit is ranked 7th.

The question states that Sunil is ranked 6th and Ankit is ranked 5th.
Thus, Raman is ranked 1st and Tony is ranked 7th. So, the following situations are possible for ranks 2, 3 and 4.

2 Vicky, 3 Priya, 4 Deepak
or 2 Vicky, 3 Deepak, 4 Priya
or 2 Deepak, 3 Vicky, 4 Priya

Vicky can never be 1st, Raman will never be 2nd or 3rd, Tony is ranked 7th and hence, cannot be 4th or 5th. Deepak can be 3rd or 4th according to the above obtained conditions.
