Q: 69 (CAPF/2017)
A, B, C, D, E and F compared their marks in an examination and found that A obtained the highest marks, B obtained more marks than D, C obtained more than at least two others and E had not obtained the lowest marks. Consider the following statements : Statement 1 : At least two members obtained less marks than C Statement 2 : E and F obtained the same marks
Which of the above statement(s) is/are sufficient to identify the one with the lowest marks ?

{'lowest marks': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'less marks': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'highest marks': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'more marks': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'same marks': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'marks': [0, 1, 3, 2], 'examination': [0, 0, 1, 1]}

The question provides information about the relative positions of the marks obtained by six individuals - A, B, C, D, E, and F. The goal is to determine which statement(s) are sufficient to identify the person with the lowest marks.

Statement 1 states that at least two members obtained fewer marks than C. This means that C is not the person with the lowest marks. However, it does not provide enough information to determine which person has the lowest marks.

Statement 2 states that E and F obtained the same marks. This statement is irrelevant to identifying the person with the lowest marks. It does not provide any information about the relative positions of the other individuals` marks.

From the above analysis, it can be concluded that neither statement alone is sufficient to identify the person with the lowest marks. Therefore, the correct answer is option 2, "Neither 1 nor 2."

Overall, the question is testing the ability to analyze the given information and determine which statement(s) provide enough information to identify the person with the lowest marks.
