At the end of a cricket series, when five players were arranged iin the ascending order of runs scored by them, O was fourth while N was first. When they were arranged in descending order for wickets taken by them, K replaces O while O replaces L. M's position remains unchanged. K has scored more runs than M. L is having first rank in ine ranking and fifth in another. Who has taken the lowest number of wickets ?

A. L

B. M

C. P

D. Can't be determined

E. None of these

Answer: A. None of these

In terms of runs scored, we have the ascending order as N < ? < ? < O < ?.
N has the first rank. So, L will be fifth in this order i.e. N < ? < ? < O < L.
K has scored more runs than M i.e. K > M.
So, the sequence becomes N < M < K < O < L.
In terms of wickets taken, the order becomes : L > M > N > K > O.

O has taken the lowest number of wickets.
