Let the marks of the students when arranged in ascending order is represented as \(M_1\), \(M_2\), \(M_3\), \(M_4\) and \(M_5\)
We know that no two students got the same and marks and exactly three students got more than 32.
As Amit scored the least his score is \(M_1\)
Minimum value of \(M_1\)
To minimize \(M_1\), we have to maximize the other scores. \(M_3, M_4, M_5 \)can take 48, 49 and 50 respectively. \(M_2\) can take 32. We can find the distance from the mean for each of the scores and obtain the value of \(M_1\).
\(M_1\) = 11
Maximum value of \(M_1\)
To get the maximum value of \(M_1\), the numbers must be as close as possible to the mean. \(M_4\) can be 33 and \(M_2\) can be 32. As \(M_2\) is six less than the mean, \(M_1\) can be seven below mean.
Therefore \(M_1\) = 38 - 7 = 31
Difference = 31 - 11 = 20
