Logical Reasoning Part 2

Nine horses participated in a horse tournament. Five races were held in this tournament. The winner of a race gets 5 points, 2nd gets 3 and the 3rd gets 1. The table gives the points tally.

Horse A B C D E F G H I
Points 5 5 8 2 5 6 4 10 0


One race is held between five horses. The first race is held among the first 5 horses from the left in the above table. Out of these horses, A drops out of the race and a new horse. ie. F enters into the race. In the next race, B drops out and G enters and so on. It is also given that H is the only horse that scored in 2 consecutive races.
Q.1 What was the position of horse F in race 4?

a. C,E,G b. D,E,F c. C,D,F d. C,E,F e. C,G,F

Q.4 D could have come third in which of the following races?
a. Race 1 b. Race 3 c. Race 4 d. Race 5 e. cannot be determined

Q.5 Suppose if C had 6 points and E had 7 points while the points of the rest of the horses remain unchanged
