Correct Answer: J


Solution : Given:
1. E's score was less than only one student.
__ > E > __ > __ > __ > __ > __
2. K scored more than only one person. So, K is at the second last place.
__ > E > __ > __ > __ > K > __
3. H's score was more than I's but less than E's.
E > H > I
4. Neither F nor G received the lowest score and I's score was more than K's.
I > K
From the above, it can be concluded that –
Case I: F/G > E > H > F/G > I > K > J
Case II: F/G > E > H > I > F/G > K > J
Case III: F/G > E > F/G > H > I > K > J

Positions of F, G, H, and I cannot be fixed from the information given, but J has minimum marks.

So, J scores the least. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
