What have you tried in place yourself to answer this?
The SQL (see below) to display the result as you have there will be flawed in a real sense. Can you see why?

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1.  
  2. SELECT     TOP 100 PERCENT A.Name, A.[Month], A.Marks
  3. FROM         dbo.tblMarks A INNER JOIN
  4.                      dbo.tblMarks B ON A.Name = B.Name AND A.Marks > B.Marks AND B.[Month] > A.[Month]
  5.
