Q 1 - In a class total number of students is 42. From below, Meeras rank is 16. What is her rank from the top?
Options :

Q 2 - In a row of students, the position of Ram is 7th from the left hand side and that of Shyam is 12th from the right hand side. Now for some reason, they interchanged their positions. Now, 22 is the new rank of Ram from the left hand side. Calculate the total number of students present in that row.
Options :
Answer : B
Explanation
Earlier the rank of Shyam was 12th from the right hand side. Now at the same position the rank of Ram is 22nd from left hand side. Hence adding both side students and eliminating the repeated person, the total number of students will be
22 + 12 - 1
= 33
Q 3 - In a list, the rank of Mahesh was 16 from the top and whereas from bottom, the rank is 29. The list was about the passed-out students. Six students were failed due to non participation and 5 were failed. Find the total number of students present in the class.
Options :
Answer : A
Explanation
Total number of passed out students including Mahesh is
= 29 + 16 - 1 = 44
Now adding the failed students into it = 44 + (5 + 6) = 55 is the total number of students.
Q 4 - In a nursery, I saw a group of small rose trees arranged in a row. However, one rose tree caught my attention very much. I started counting its rank from the left hand side and found out to be 12. When I started counting from right hand side, it was again 12!! What is the total number of rose trees that were arranged in that row?
Options :
Answer : A
Explanation
As the rank of the tree is same from either side, the total number of trees will be
12 + 12 - 1
= 23
Q 5 - Rank of Snigdha is 15th from the top in a list of 55 girls. What would be her new rank from the bottom, if three new girls are removed from the back of the list?
Options :
Answer : B
Explanation
Rank of Snigdha before removal of three girls from bottom = (5515) + 1 = 41
Now removal of 3 girls from the bottom of the list will reduce the rank of Snigdha further less by 3 from bottom. So, the new rank will be = 41 - 3 = 38
Q 6 - A group of dancers are standing in a line for their performance. Snigdha tried to calculate her rank from the either side and found that her rank is 20th. Find the total number of dancers standing in that line.
Options :
Answer : D
Explanation
From the left side, if we will calculate till the rank of Snigdha, then it will be 20 students. Similarly from right hand side, the total number of students till Snigdha will also be 20. Now adding both and subtracting 1 we will get 20 + 20 - 1 = 39.
Q 7 - Calculate the total number of dancers needed to make it 60, if rank of a dancer in that group is 8th from the top and 27th from the bottom.
Options :
Answer : B
Explanation
Total number of dancers now = (8 + 27) - 1 = 34
Extra dancers needed = 60 - 34 = 26
Q 8 - In a list of selected candidates, the rank of Biswa was 26 from the top whereas from bottom the rank is 19. Six candidates were rejected due to non participation and 5 did not attend. Find the total number of candidates those have applied for the job.
Options :
Answer : A
Explanation
Total number of passed out students including Mahesh is
= 19 + 26 - 1 = 44
Now adding the non selected candidates to it = 44 + (5 + 6) = 55 which is the total number of candidates who applied for job.
Q 9 - In a row, 35 boys were sitting. From the right hand side, the position of Kajal was 7th whereas; position of Suresh from the left hand side was 9th. Meera was sitting exactly in between Kajal and Suresh. Find the position of Kajal from Suresh.
Options :
Answer : D
Explanation
Number of viewers sitting in between Kajal and Suresh can be calculated as;
35 - (9 + 7) = 19
So we can say now that 9 viewers were present in between Kajal-Meera and Meera-Suresh. So the position of Kajal is 10th from Suresh.
Q 10 - Five girls are arranged in a row on a table. From left hand side, Chandini has been placed in 2nd position. Now sequentially new girl has been added on left and another on right side of the row. After how many iterations, the rank of the Chandini will be 8th from right hand side? Adding one girl to the right and left counts as one iteration.
Options :
Answer : D
Explanation
Adding girls to the left most side will not change the rank of Chandini but adding to the right will change the rank. Before adding, the rank of Chandini is 4th from bottom. So if we do on calculating, we will notice that after 4 iterations, the rank of Chandini will be 8th from the right hand side.
