B, C, D, F and H have different marks. Only one person has scored between B and D. Only three people have scored between H and B. No one has scored between F and B and F's score is more than B's score. How many people have scored less than C?
One
Four
Three
Two
Three
Based on the given conditions, F > B, no one is between F and B, only one person is between B and D, and three people are between H and B, the sequence of marks from highest to lowest is H, F, B, C, D (or similar arrangements where C must be below B). By placing the variables in order: H(5), F(4), B(3), C(2), D(1), it is determined that three people (F, B, D) have scored more than C, meaning only one person (or zero depending on the specific ranking) is below C, but specifically in the logical distribution derived, C is the second-lowest, leaving three people with more marks than C, and answering 'How many less' reveals the positional requirement.

This puzzle follows Logical Reasoning principles, often categorized under 'Order and Ranking', which is a fundamental component of the CSAT (Civil Services Aptitude Test) and various SSC CGL examinations.
Logical reasoning puzzles involving 'between' conditions require careful sequencing of variables.
The condition 'No one between F and B' implies they are adjacent (F, B).
Three people between H and B defines the extreme boundaries of the set.
In the sequence H > F > B > C > D, there is exactly one person (C) between B and D.
The constraint 'three people between H and B' (H, _, _, _, B) is satisfied by placing F in between.
Option C is correct because after placing all individuals, the hierarchy shows 3 individuals rank above C.
Option B (Four) is incorrect as it would violate the constraint regarding the total number of individuals and the relative positioning of H and B.
C is correct тАФ Three people have scored more marks than C based on the derived ranking order.
Order and Ranking questions often overlap with Seating Arrangement problems. Always represent constraints visually on a linear scale to avoid overlapping errors in competitive exams.
