About Ranking Puzzle: Comparing Marks Across Eight Students

CLAT's Logical Reasoning section includes analytical puzzles alongside argument-based questions -- rankings that must be worked out purely from a set of comparative clues given once, without any outside knowledge of the people involved.

This quiz is built around a single ranking puzzle: eight students' exam marks, with no two the same, fully pinned down by six clues given up front. Every question below is answered using that one ranking -- nothing new is introduced question to question.

The twenty questions attached to it move through the kind of angles these puzzles are actually tested from: direct rank look-ups, counting questions, "which of the following is true" questions, a hypothetical rank-swap, and a multi-statement combination question.

Only five of the twenty questions are shown on any single attempt, so replaying this quiz brings a genuinely different mix of angles on the same ranking rather than the same five memorised by rote.
