In a list of 101 trees, the middle tree will be ranked 51. Now as we are trying to find out the rank from the left hand side, hence; removal of the trees from the right hand side will not affect.
However; if we remove two trees from the left hand side, then the new rank of the rose tree will be (51 - 2) = 49 from the left.

Q 8 - The rank of Sanjaya is 24th from top and 26th from bottom in a list. If 13 persons have been wrongly listed and will be removed, then what will be the total number of persons in the list?
Options :
Answer : A
Explanation
Before eliminating the wrongly listed names, the total number of persons present in that list will be
= 24 + 26 - 1

Now, as 13 persons have been wrongly listed, removing them will make the list with number of people = 49 - 13 = 36.

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 - If the rank of Harish is 8th from the top in a group of 28 candidates and 2 new candidates are added just before and after him, what will be his new rank from bottom?
Options :
Answer : A
Explanation
Adding of candidates just before Harish will not change his rank from bottom. Before addition, the rank of Harish from bottom is
= (28 - 8) + 1 = 21
Now adding 2 candidates just after Harish will increase his rank by 2 positions. Hence; Harish’s new rank from bottom will be = 21 + 2 = 23
