If E is ranked third, then which one of the following is correct?

Correct Option (2)

Given the condition that E is ranked third, the logical deduction from the problem's constraints establishes the following complete ranking of individuals from highest to lowest marks: F > C > E > D > A > B. According to this established hierarchy, C is positioned higher than E, indicating that C obtains more marks than E.

Incorrect Options:

The established ranking is F > C > E > D > A > B.

• Option 1 states that E gets more marks than C. This contradicts the ranking where C is positioned above E.
• Option 3 states that A is ranked fourth. In the derived ranking, A is positioned fifth. Therefore, this statement is incorrect.
• Option 4 states that D is ranked fifth. In the derived ranking, D is positioned fourth. Therefore, this statement is incorrect.
