Q 1 - In a queue, the rank of Sanjay is 10th from the front while the rank of Ajay is 25th from behind. Meera is present in the middle of the two. It is given that the total number of persons is 50. Then determine the rank of Meera from the front.
Options :
Answer : B
Explanation
Lets find the total number of persons present between Sanjay and Ajay = 50 - (10 + 25) = 15.
Meera lies in between these 15 persons. That means we can conclude that from Sanjays position, she will be at 8th and 18th from the front end.
Q 2 - Total number of students in a class is 60 out of which 40 have been selected for a dance competition. The number of boys is half of those girls who are selected for dance competition. The rank of Harish from the top is 17th and there are 9 girls ahead of him in that rank. Calculate the number of boys present after Harish.
Options :
Answer : D
Explanation
As the number of boys is half of that girls, so out of 60, the only possible combination of boys and girls can be in the number of 20 and 40 respectively.
Now 9 girls are present ahead of Harish means that, the total number of boys till 17th rank is 8(including Harish). So, the rest number of boys those are present after Harish are;
20 - 8 = 12
Q 3 - In a word, the position of a particular letter L is 5th from the left side and 6th from the right hand side. How many letters must be eliminated to make it a 7 letter words.
Options :
Answer : B
Explanation
Total length of the word on the basis of the rank of L from both the side is = 5 + 6 - 1 = 10

Q 4 - After the declaration of final result, Satish found out that his rank is 7 below as that of Vimal, in a class having strength of 39. He also found out that from the last, his rank is 17th. Find out the rank of Vimal from the 1st.
Options :
Answer : D
Explanation
The rank of Satish from below is 17th. Now from the 1st, his rank will be
= (39 - 17) + 1
= 23
As Vimal is 7 rank ahead of Satish, his rank will be (23 - 7 = 16th) from the beginning.
Q 5 - Rank of Madhaba is 14th from the bottom in a list of 64 boys. What would be his new rank from the top if 3 new boys will be added to the bottom of the list?
Options :
Answer : B
Explanation
Total number of students in the row = 64
Rank of Madhaba from the bottom = 14
So, rank of Madhaba from top would be = (64 - 14) + 1 = 51
Now as adding of new boys to the bottom of the list will not affect the rank of Madhaba from top, hence; his rank will be the same 51 from the top, even after the addition.
