Question

In a class, Ramesh receives higher grades than Suresh but lower grades than Mahesh. Which of these statements is true if Suresh had a score of 70?

This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2025 Tier 1 Question Paper (25-Sep-2025) (Shift 3)
The correct answer is
Ramesh's marks are 75, Mahesh's marks are 80.

To solve the problem, let's analyze the given information step-by-step:

  1. According to the question, Ramesh receives higher grades than Suresh. This means Ramesh's marks must be greater than 70 since Suresh has a score of 70.
  2. Furthermore, Ramesh receives lower grades than Mahesh. This implies that Mahesh's marks must be greater than Ramesh's marks.

Now, let's examine each option based on this reasoning:

  • Option 1: Ramesh's marks are 65, Mahesh's marks are 70. 
    This option is invalid because Ramesh's marks (65) are less than Suresh's marks (70), which contradicts the given condition.
  • Option 2: Ramesh's marks are 75, Mahesh's marks are 80. 
    This option holds true as Ramesh's marks (75) are greater than Suresh's (70) and lower than Mahesh's (80). This satisfies both conditions mentioned in the question.
  • Option 3: Ramesh's marks are 60, Mahesh's marks are 70. 
    This is not possible since Ramesh's marks (60) are less than Suresh's marks (70), violating the condition that Ramesh's marks should be higher.
  • Option 4: Ramesh's marks are 85, Mahesh's marks are 75. 
    This option cannot be correct because Mahesh's marks (75) are less than Ramesh's marks (85), which contradicts the condition that Ramesh's marks are lower than Mahesh's.

Based on the logical analysis, the correct answer is: Ramesh's marks are 75, Mahesh's marks are 80.
