Team A,B,C

3 events

Total points for 3 events=36

stmt1,

Team C scored lower points.

We don't know which team scored more points.Team A or Team B?

Insuff

stmt2,

Team A points scored minimum 14 points.

From remaining 22 points Team B or Team C could have scored more points tha Team A.

Insuff

Combining 1 and 2,

Points rem=36-4-11=11

This means A scored 14 points,B and C each scored 11 points.

Pick C

I would say B

1) C came last. Either A or B could have come first - INSUFF

2) Score by A is 5+5+4. The max that either B or C could have scored is 4+4+5 which is less than what A has scored - SUFF

From stmt2,

Team A scored minimum 14 points.

For ex consider the following scores below,

First event:
------------------

Team A=5[First place]

Team B=4[Second place]

Team A=3[Third place]

Second event:
------------------

Team A=5[First place]

Team B=4[Second place]

Team A=3[Third place]

Third event:
------------------

Team B=5[First place]

Team A=4[Second place]

Team B=3[Third place]

In this case ,Team B has 16 points.

Hence we cannot prove Team A has more points.

My bad.. 5 members in each team.. so its not necessary that every team should score in an event.
Thanks Anand
