AI Explanation

To answer this question, let's consider the given information and go through each option:

Option A) M does not play with N - This option is not necessarily true. The given information doesn't specify whether M and N play against each other or not. So, this option cannot be determined from the given information.

Option B) N wins over M - This option is not necessarily true. The given information doesn't provide any information about the outcome of the match between N and M. So, this option cannot be determined from the given information.

Option C) M wins over N - This option is correct. The ranking list is in alphabetical order, which means that M is ranked higher than N. Since everyone played with every other player exactly once and no two players scored the same score, M must have won the match against N to have a higher rank.

Option D) The match must be a draw - This option is incorrect. The given information explicitly states that none of the matches ended in a draw. Therefore, the match between M and N cannot be a draw.

Option E) Can't say - This option is incorrect. Based on the given information, we can determine that M wins over N.

Therefore, the correct answer is option C) M wins over N. This option is correct because the ranking list is in alphabetical order, and M is ranked higher than N, indicating that M must have won the match against N.
