Solution
From the given information, we can deduce the following:
- B has scored more than 2 marks.
- C has scored more marks than A and B combined.
- A's score is the same as D and E's scores combined.
- A has scored more marks than B.
- No two people have scored the same marks.
- D scored more marks than B.
From points 1 and 4, we know that A and B have scored more than 2 marks.
From point 2, we know that C has scored more than A and B combined, so C definitely didn't score the lowest.
From point 3, we know that A's score is the same as D and E's scores combined. Since no two people have scored the same marks (point 5), D and E must have scored less than A.
From point 6, we know that D scored more marks than B. So, B must have scored the least marks among A, B, D, and E.
Therefore, B scored the lowest marks.
