Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Tejas is 6th and Prakash is 3rd, leaving places 1, 2, 4 and 5.
Oindrila is below Rukhsar and Naveen but above Sanjay, so Oindrila and Sanjay take 4th and 5th, and Rukhsar and Naveen take 1st and 2nd.
Rukhsar is not first, so the order is Naveen, Rukhsar, Prakash, Oindrila, Sanjay, Tejas (highest first).
4th from the top is Oindrila.
Worth noting
Prakash is 3rd; 'exactly two scored more than Prakash' puts him 3rd, not 2nd.
