Adam,Bob,Chevy,Don and Ernesto

Five students Adam, Bob, Chevy, Don and Ernesto were the only ones who participated in a quiz contest. They were ranked based on their scores in the contest. Don got a higher rank as compared to Ernesto, while Bob got a higher rank as compared to Chevy. Chevy's rank was lower than the median. Who among the five got the highest rank?


A. Adaml was the last rank holder.

B. Bob was not among the top two rank holders.
It takes time and effort to explain, so if my comment helped you please press Thanks button :)



Just because something is hard doesn't mean you shouldn't try,it means you should just try harder.
