The conditions are: - B's car was costlier than C's car but was less costly than E's car. 
                                - A's car was costlier than D's car but less costly than C's car. 
Whose car was the 2nd costliest?

• A. E
• B. A
• C. B
• D. C

Hint:

To solve such ranking problems, list out the conditions step by step and try to combine them logically to determine the correct order.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Let's analyze the given conditions: 
1. B's car is costlier than C's car but less costly than E's car: This means the order is E > B > C. 
2. A's car is costlier than D's car but less costly than C's car: This means the order is A > D and A < C, so the order is A > D > C. 
From these conditions, we can combine them to find the order of the cars: - E > B > C > A > D The second costliest car is B's car. 
Thus, the correct answer is Option C.
