  1. A
    Lokita
  2. B
    Rahul
  3. C
    Manju
  4. D
    Yamuna

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's convert the given statements into mathematical inequalities representing scores:
Priti scored more than Rahul: Priti>Rahul

Yamuna scored as much as Divya: Yamuna=Divya

Lokita scored less than Manju: Manju>Lokita

Rahul scored more than Yamuna: Rahul>Yamuna

Manju scored less than Divya: Divya>Manju

Combining the inequalities step-by-step:

From (1) and (4): Priti>Rahul>Yamuna

From (2): Since Yamuna=Divya, we have Priti>Rahul>Yamuna=Divya

From (5): Divya>Manju, so Priti>Rahul>Yamuna=Divya>Manju

From (3): Manju>Lokita, so Priti>Rahul>Yamuna=Divya>Manju>Lokita

The final descending sequence is:

Priti>Rahul>Yamuna=Divya>Manju>Lokita
Thus, Lokita scored the lowest.
