To determine the order of marks among B, C, D, F, and H, we arrange them based on the given conditions: 1) Exactly one person scored between C and D. 2) Exactly one person scored between H and D. 3) F scored less than C and D. Placing them in descending order yields: H > C > B > D > F (or B > C > H > D > F depending on position), which consistently leaves 3 people scoring less than B.
