Q 1 - A group of dancers are standing in a line for their performance. Joseph tried to calculate his rank from the either side and found that his rank is 19^th. Find the total number of dancers standing in that line.

Options :

Answer : B

Explanation

If we will count till Joseph from the left side, then he will be 19 dancer. Similarly, from right hand side, the total number of students till joseph will also be 19. Now adding both and subtracting 1 (dual occurrence of Joseph) we will get = 19 + 19 - 1 = 37.

Q 2 - In a row of orange trees, one tree is ranked as 15^th from left and 7^th from right. Calculate the number of trees that should be eliminated to make it a total of 17.

Options :

Answer : C

Total number of trees currently = (15 + 7) - 1 = 21

So, 4 numbers of trees should be eliminated to make it a total of 17.

Q 3 - In a queue, the rank of Amu is 10^th from the front side and Mannu is ranked as 25^th from the behind. Tannu is present in the middle of the two persons. If the total number of persons in the queue is 50, then calculate the rank of Tannu from the front.

Options :

Answer : C

Explanation

Rank of Mannu is 25^th from behind. Then from the front side Mannu’s rank will be (50 - 25) + 1 = 26

Between 10^th rank and 26^th rank, there are 15 students and the middle position will be 8^th one. Now, the rank of Tannu from the front side can be calculated as follows −

Rank of Amu from front side + 8

= 10 + 8

= 18

Q 4 - Rank of Sujay is 14^th from the top in a group of 25 students. Find his rank from top if 3 new students will be added to the bottom of the list.

= 50 - 13 + 1

= 37 + 1

= 38

Q 7 - A group of mountaineers were climbing a tree. One of them started counting his rank and found that it is 10 from the top and 20 from the bottom. Calculate the total number of mountaineers.

Q 8 - If the rank of Rohan is 7^th from the top in a group of 50 candidates and 2 new candidates are added just before and after him, what will be his new rank from bottom?

Options :

Answer : B

Explanation

Adding of candidates just before Rohan will not change his rank from bottom. Before addition, the rank of Rohan from bottom is

= (50 - 7) + 1 = 44

Now adding 2 candidates just after Rohan will increase his rank by 2 positions. Hence; the new rank of Rohan from bottom will be = 44 + 2 = 46

Q 9 - In a row, 35 boys were sitting. From the right hand side, the position of Kajal was 7^th whereas; position of Suresh from the left hand side was 9^th. 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 10^th from Suresh.

Q 10 - Rank of Snigdha is 15^th from the top in a list of 55 girls. What would be her new rank from the bottom, if 3 new girls will be eliminated from the back of the list?

Options :

Answer : B

Explanation

Rank of Snigdha before elimination of three girls from bottom = (55 - 15) + 1 = 41

Now elimination of 3 girls from the bottom of the list will reduce the rank of Snigdha further by 3 from bottom. So, the new rank will be = 41 - 3 = 38
