Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Order from ranks relations:
From the clues: Paul < Sam < Winston < Qasim < Tom (smaller rank number = better).
Also Tom = Rank 7, Rustam = Rank 2, and the best rank (Rank 1) is the student who likes Math.
Rank 1: Brian — Math
Rank 2: Rustam — History (Rustam cannot like Chemistry, Math, or Geography)
Rank 3: Paul — Biology (Paul is not the best rank)
Rank 4: Sam — Physics (Sam stands above Qasim and Winston but below Paul)
Rank 5: Winston — Geography
Rank 6: Qasim — Sociology
Rank 7: Tom — Chemistry (Tom is worst and does not like Geography or History)
Conclusion: The person between Paul (rank 3) and the Geography-lover (rank 5) is rank 4, Sam, who likes Physics.
