To determine who obtained the highest marks among Randhir, Kunal, Debu, Shankar, Sonal, and Neha, let's analyze the given information step by step:
1. Randhir obtained more marks than the total marks obtained by Kunal and Debu.
2. The total marks obtained by Kunal and Shankar are more than those of Randhir.
3. Sonal obtained more marks than Shankar.
4. Neha obtained more marks than Randhir.
Based on these statements, we can draw the following conclusions:
- Randhir > (Kunal + Debu)
- (Kunal + Shankar) > Randhir
- Sonal > Shankar
- Neha > Randhir
Now, let's try to compare the marks obtained by each individual and see if we can determine the highest scorer.
1. Comparing Randhir and Kunal:
Randhir > (Kunal + Debu)
Since we don't have any information about Debu's marks, we cannot make a direct comparison between Randhir and Kunal.
2. Comparing Randhir and Shankar:
(Kunal + Shankar) > Randhir
Again, we don't have direct information about Kunal's marks, so we cannot compare Randhir and Shankar.
3. Comparing Sonal and Shankar:
Sonal > Shankar
This comparison is clear, with Sonal obtaining more marks than Shankar.
4. Comparing Neha and Randhir:
Neha > Randhir
Here, we have a direct comparison between Neha and Randhir, with Neha obtaining more marks.
Based on the given information, we cannot definitively determine who obtained the highest marks among Randhir, Neha, and Sonal. The data provided is insufficient to make a conclusive decision.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'D' - Data are inadequate.
