Premise: Boys in school A consistently scored more than the girls = AB > AG
Premise: In school B the girls consistently scored more than the boys = BG > BB
Conclusion: Girls in school A did not score as much as the girls in school B = BG > AG
Convention used is School, followed by Girl/Boys
A. The boys in school A and B scored the same. If AB = BB, then BG > BB = AB > AG. Works
B. The girls in school A scored less than the boys in school B. If AG < BB, then BG > BB > AG. Works
C. The boys in school B scored the same as the girls in school A. If BB = AG, then BG > BB = AG. Works
D. The boys in school A scored as much as the girls in school B If AB = BG, then BG = AB > AG. Works
E. The boys in school A scored more than the boys in school B. If AB > BB, then we don't know the relation b/w AG and BG

The educationist's conclusion states that the girls in school A scored less than the girls in school B.
For this conclusion to be logically correct, the options should support the idea that the girls in school A had lower scores than the girls in school B.
(A) The boys in school A and B scored the same.
- This does not directly compare the girls' scores between schools, so it does not necessarily contradict or support the conclusion. (Incorrect)
(B) The girls in school A scored less than the boys in school B.
- If girls in school A scored less than boys in school B, and boys in school B scored less than girls in school B (given in the passage), then girls in school A must have scored less than girls in school B. This supports the conclusion. (Correct)
(C) The boys in school B scored the same as the girls in school A.
- If the boys in school B scored the same as the girls in school A, and the passage states that the girls in school B scored more than the boys in school B, then the girls in school A must have scored less than the girls in school B. This supports the conclusion. (Correct)
(D) The boys in school A scored as much as the girls in school B.
- If the boys in school A scored as much as the girls in school B, and the passage states that the boys in school A scored more than the girls in school A, then the girls in school A must have scored less than the girls in school B. This supports the conclusion. (Correct)
(E) The boys in school A scored more than the boys in school B.
- This does not necessarily establish a relationship between the scores of the girls in both schools. If boys in school A scored more than boys in school B, but no information is given about how this relates to the girls in school A and B, it does not logically confirm the conclusion. (This is the exception)
