Answer is (D) because

  1. $P$ is not likely to beat $S$ because $S$ only sometimes loses to $P$
  2. $S$ is not worst player because he is likely to beat $P$

1) P is likely to beat all the three other players : False, there is no reference of P defeating R.

` 2) S is the absolute worst player in the set : False, S may be defeated by P.

Hence, option D.

From Statement 1,2,and 4

Level P>Q>R>S

But from 3rd statement S loses to P only sometimes.Here note that if S beat P then above statements will not hold true. So,statements are contracting each other and no conclusion can be drawn.

So Option D will be answer.

Both statements are wrong because data give is insufficient to conclude any of the statements.

P can beat Q and S but its not given whether P will beat R or not.

S is the worst player. We cant conclude that since all the data required to analyze them are not given like its not given whether S will beat Q or not.
