Students taking an exam are divided into two groups, P and Q such that each group has the same number of students. The performance of each of the students in a test was evaluated out of $200$ marks. It was observed that the mean of group P was $105$, while that of group Q was $85$. The standard deviation of group P was $25$, while that of group Q was $5$. Assuming that the marks were distributed on a normal distribution, which of the following statements will have the highest probability of being TRUE?

  1. No student in group Q scored less marks than any student in group P.
  2. No student in group P scored less marks than any student in group Q.
  3. Most students of group Q scored marks in a narrower range than students in group P.
  4. The median of the marks of group P is $100$.

Group Q students have less standard deviation than group P , means most students in group Q got less marks than group P but Not all students in group Q got less marks than group P .

That makes statement A and B  incorrect .

Mean, Median and Mode of Normal Distribution is same , so option D is wrong .

Only option C is correct.
