Explanation:

Let’s break down the statements:

- R scored highest (1st).

- U and V scored second least (6th) and least (7th) respectively.

- T scored more than Q. So: T > Q.

- Three people lie between S and P. Since P > S, order is S _ _ P.

- Let's place them: R (1st), ?, ?, ?, ?, U (6th), V (7th).

- We’re to find who is 4th highest.

Now, try to fill the order:

1. R

2.

3.

4.

5.

6. U

7. V

Since U is 6th and V is 7th, the rest (P, Q, S, T) take 2nd-5th.

From P and S: Two people between them, P higher. So orders:

- P is 5th, S is 2nd

- P is 4th, S is 1st (but R is highest)

- P is 3rd, S is 6th (U is 6th)

So only possible: S (2nd), P (5th)

Now, left with Q and T for 3rd and 4th, and T > Q.

Slots:

1. R

2. S

3. T

4. Q

5. P

6. U

7. V

So, Q scored the fourth highest marks.

- Option 1: P — 5th

- Option 2: Q — 4th

- Option 3: R — 1st

- Option 4: S — 2nd

Correct Answer:

Option 2: Q
