There are 6 students A, B, C, D, E, F who appeared in 6 different subjects, Physics, Chemistry, Maths, Biology, Computer Science and English such that no two students appeared for the same subject. They got different marks from among 80, 82, 84, 86, 88, 89 and their ranks in the particular subjects are among 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, such that no two people got the same rank. Also, the following information is known regarding these 6 students:
  1. The numerical sum of the ranks and the marks of C and D are the same.
  2. 88 was scored in Biology.
  3. 84 was scored in Computer Science and the one who scored it was the topper.
  4. The score in English was not 86.
  5. 82 was not scored in Maths.
  6. B was not second, the person who was second scored 82.
  7. Neither A nor E had scored 82, nor were their scores scored in Biology or Physics.
  8. C had scored 86, but not in Physics.

In these questions, we represent all possible alternatives in a tabular representation. With the help of the hints, we put a tick or a cross in each cell of the table if that particular cell is definitely true or if it is definitely false. After this, we again go over the table and eliminate any choice which has been rendered impossible by the hint. We represent the information in the question as follows:

In the above representation, we have used the following abbreviations:
In subjects: P - Physics
C - Chemistry
M - Maths
B - Biology
CS - Computer Science
E - English
We will start with the hints that give us direct information first.
Using hint 7, neither A nor E had scored 82, nor were their scores scored in Biology or Physics.

Using hint 8, C had scored 86, but not in Physics.

Using hint 10, D's score was in Maths.

Using hint 5, 82 was not scored in Maths.

C scored 86 from point 8, also, 88 was scored in Biology and 84 was scored in Computer Science, so C did not appear in Biology or Computer Science.

Using hint 4, the score in English was not 86.

Hence, C gave the Chemistry exam.

Since B and F will score in Physics and Biology, A and E will score in Computer Science and English.

Using hint 9, A did not score 84 or 89.

Using hint 3, 84 was scored in Computer Science and the one who scored it was the topper.

Hence, A scored in English.

Using hint 6, B was not second, the person who was second scored 82.

Using hint 2, 88 was scored in Biology.

Filling the remaining places,

Using hint 1, the numerical sum of the ranks and the marks of C and D are the same.

Hence, 80 was scored by A in English.

Understanding the Problem
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given clues step by step.

Given Information
- There are 6 students (A, B, C, D, E, F) and 6 subjects (Physics, Chemistry, Maths, Biology, Computer Science, English).
- Marks obtained: 80, 82, 84, 86, 88, 89
- Ranks are unique from 1 to 6.

Clue Breakdown
- **C and D:** The sum of ranks and marks for C and D are equal.
- **Biology:** 88 marks were scored here.
- **Computer Science:** 84 marks were scored and the topper (rank 1) achieved this.
- **English:** The score was not 86.
- **Maths:** 82 was not scored.
- **B's Rank:** B is not second, and the second scored 82.
- **Scores of A and E:** Neither scored 82, nor did they score in Biology or Physics.
- **C's Score:** C scored 86, but not in Physics.
- **D's Score:** D scored in Maths.

Identifying Subjects and Scores
1. Since 84 is the highest score for Computer Science, it means the Computer Science student has rank 1.
2. D scored in Maths, thus cannot have the highest score.
3. Since B is not second and 82 is the second score, B must be ranked 3, 4, 5, or 6.
4. C scored 86, thus must have a rank lower than B (>3).
5. The only remaining score for A and E is 80, which must be in English because they did not score in Biology or Physics.

Conclusion
From the above deductions, we can conclude that:
- Biology: 88
- Computer Science: 84 (Rank 1)
- D: Maths (unknown score but not 80, 84, or 88)
- C: 86 (unknown subject)
- A and E: must take the remaining subjects.
Given that English must be the subject with 80 marks, the answer is:

Correct Answer: Option D - English scored 80
