Marks obtained by the seven students of a tuition class, Panchi, Qazi, Ricky, Sweta, Tiya, Urusha and Vinay, are mentioned. Panchi scored second highest marks in the class. Marks scored by Vinay was higher than only one of the person. Sweta's score was more than Tiya but less than Panchi. Three person got higher than Tiya and three got lesser than Tiya. Neither Ricky nor Qazi received the lowest marks. Given that no two students have the same marks, whose marks was the lowest?

The correct answer is

Urusha

Given are: seven students, Panchi, Kazi, Riki, Sweta, Tiya, Urusha, and Vinay

1) Panchi has scored the second highest marks in the class.

__ > Panchi > __ > __ > __ > __ > __

2) Vinay's score was only higher than one person.

__ > Panchi > __ > __ > __ > Vinay > __

3) Three individuals scored more than Tiya and three individuals scored less than Tiya.

4) Sweta's score was more than Tiya's but less than Panchi's.

__ > Panchi > Sweta > Tiya > __ > Vinay > __

5) Neither Riki nor Kazi scored the lowest marks.

__ > Panchi > Sweta > Tiya > __ > Vinay > Urusha (since neither Riki nor Kazi scored the lowest, Urusha must have the lowest score)

6) This gives us the following order:

__ > Panchi > Sweta > Tiya > __ > Vinay > Urusha

7) There are two positions left to be filled for Riki and Kazi, which should be placed above Vinay and below Tiya. Without additional information, their relative positions cannot be determined. Therefore, the final sequence could be one of the following:

Riki/Kazi > Panchi > Sweta > Tiya > Kazi/Riki > Vinay > Urusha

Thus, Urusha has scored the lowest marks.

Therefore, the correct answer is "Urusha".
