Explanation:

Let’s break down what we know:

- P scored higher than only U and R ? P is third from the bottom, U and R score the lowest two.

- R scored higher than U ? order from lowest: U < R < P

- Q scored higher than S but less than T ? T > Q > S

- T hasn't scored the highest ? there’s someone above T

- So only V or S could be the top scorer (but S scores less than Q, so it must be V).

Let’s slot in the names:

- Highest: V

- 2nd: T

- 3rd: Q

- 4th: S

- 5th: P

- 6th: R

- 7th: U

Wait, but P must be just above U and R.

So correct placement:

1. V

2. T

3. Q

4. S

5. P

6. R

7. U

Now, who’s between Q and R? Positions: Q is at 3, R is at 6.

People between: S (4), P (5) — so two people.

Option:2, 2 is the right answer.
