Only one person has scored between R and W. S has scored more than R and W.
How many people have scored less than D?
To solve this problem, we need to deduce the relative scores of D, R, A, W, and S according to the conditions given:
- There is only one person scoring between A and R.
- There is also only one person scoring between R and W.
- S has scored more than R and W.
Since S has scored more than R and W, S must not be at the lowest position.
Based on the first two conditions, we can list the possible orders:
- A possible scenario satisfying both conditions is R and W next to each other with one of them immediately followed or preceded by one person (A). Let's assume R is before W.
- This creates the order: A ... R W ... or ... W R ... A.
- S has scored higher than both R and W, so in this framework, we assume S comes after both.
Analyzing the sequence, the most probable order satisfying all conditions is:
- A
- R
- W
- S
- D
Here, D scores the lowest, as this arrangement accommodates S scoring higher than both R and W (Condition 3), and a person between A and R as well as R and W (Conditions 1 and 2).
Therefore, the number of people who scored less than D is One.
