Q 1 - The strength of a class is 35. From the bottom, the position of Sanjaya is 7^th and Raju is placed at 9^th from the top. Mannu is present at the middle position in between Sanjaya and Raju. Determine the position of Sanjaya from Mannu.

Options :

Answer : B

Explanation

Total number of students present between Sanjaya and Raju

= 35 - (7 + 9) = 17

Middle of 17 is 9^th position.

So Sanjay is 9^th position above Mannu or his position is 10^th.

Q 2 - In a row of students, the position of Ram is 7^th from the left hand side and that of Shyam is 12^th 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 :

A - Cannot be determined

B - 33

C - Data is inadequate

D - 32

Answer : B

Explanation

Earlier the rank of Shyam was 12^th from the right hand side. Now at the same position the rank of Ram is 22^nd 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 row of 40 sheep, the position of a sheep from the top is 27 and similarly in a group of 30 buffalos, the position of a buffalo from last is 13. Calculate the difference between the ranks of that sheep from last and that buffalo from 1^st.

Options :

Answer : C

Explanation

The rank of that sheep from the last = (40 - 27) + 1 = 14

The rank of that buffalo from 1^st will be = (30 - 13) + 1 = 28

Now the difference of rank is = 28 - 14 = 14

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.

Options :

Answer : A

Explanation

There will be no change in the ranking list from the top, if we are adding students to the bottom of the list.

Q 5 - If the rank of Hari is 8^th from the top in a group of 35 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 Hari will not change his rank from bottom. Before addition, the rank of Hari from bottom is

= (35 - 8) + 1 = 28

Now adding 2 candidates just after Hari will increase his rank by 2 positions. Hence; the new rank of Hari from bottom will be = 28 + 2 = 30.

Q 6 - In a line 40 boys are standing. Ratika got shifted to the 10 place right of Sambit and Mona got shifted 10 places left of Sambit. If the position of Sambit is 26 from the left and there were only 3 boys between Ratika and Sambit, who were shifting, find the position of Sambit in the row from right.

Options :

Answer : D

Explanation

Here to solve this problem some more data is required.

Q 7 - The rank of X is 6^th from left and rank of Y is 18^th from right hand side in a row of letters. Calculate the extra number of letters required to make it a group of 30, if there are 6 letters present in between X and Y.

Options :

Answer : D

Explanation

As per ranking of Y and X and the presence of 6 letters in between them, the total number of letters in the row will be

= 6 + 18 + 6

= 30

Now we can see that it is already a group of 30 letters. Hence; no more letters are required to be added to the group.

Q 8 - Rank of Sushant is 7 ahead of Sanjay in a class of 49 students. From the last, the rank of Sanjay is 16^th. Find out the rank of Sushmita from the 1^st.

Options :

Answer : C

Explanation

Out of 49 students, the rank of Sanjay is 16^th from the last. So from the 1^st her rank will be = (49 - 16) + 1 = 34

Now the rank of Sushant = 34 - 7 = 27

Q 9 - Rank of Karthik is 18^th from the bottom in a group of 25 students. Find his rank from below if four new students will be added to the bottom of the list.

Options :

Answer : C

Explanation

Simply it will add four more ranks to the current position of Karthik

= 18 + 4 = 22

Q 10 - Five girls are arranged in a row on a table. From left hand side, Chandini has been placed in 2^nd 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 8^th 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 4^th from bottom. So if we do on calculating, we will notice that after 4 iterations, the rank of Chandini will be 8^th from the right hand side.
