Problem Statement

Counting Researchers Who Outsubmitted Everyone Ahead of Them Exactly seven researchers -- Aarav, Bilal, Chirag, Darsh, Eklavya, Fahad and Gaurav -- were standing in a queue (not necessarily in the same order) at the registration desk of an academic conference to submit their project reports. Each researcher submitted a distinct number of reports, which is a positive integer less than eight (i.e., 1 to 7). The following information is known: 1. Chirag was standing immediately behind Fahad and submitted three more reports than Fahad. 2. There were at least four researchers standing in front of Gaurav, and each of them had submitted more reports than Gaurav. 3. The researcher who submitted the least number of reports was standing exactly two positions away from Eklavya. 4. Darsh was not standing at either end of the queue and was standing somewhere in front of Eklavya. 5. The researcher standing immediately in front of Aarav had submitted two fewer reports than Gaurav.
