Puzzle
Three contestants Abhijeet, Rahul and Amit, contesting for the International Idol, were judged by Sonu, Farah and Anu. Each of the three judges gave certain points to each of these contestants. The points were given on the scale of 1 to 10. The candidate who secured the maximum total number of points was ranked 1st and who secured the second highest is ranked 2nd and so on.
The nine scores awarded by the three judges to the three contestants are all distinct.
