Ordering and Ranking Question 1:

In a class, there are 150 students and the number of boys is twice as much as the number of girls. One of the boys, Kunal, ranked 25th from the top and only 10 girls are ahead of Kunal. How many boys are there after him ? 

  1. 90
  2. 75
  3. 85
  4. Cannot be determined.
  5. None of the above

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 3 : 85

Ordering and Ranking Question 1 Detailed Solution

Given statement;

Total strength of class = 150

Girls :Boys  = 1 : 2

This means 100 boys and 50 girls are there in the class.

The rank of Kunal from the top is 25th. 

which means 24 students are ahead of Kunal and 10 are girls. So 14 are boys.

Total boys = 100

ahead of Kunal = 14

Behind Kunal = 100 - 14 - 1(Kunal) = 85 boys. (Kunal is a boy so he will also be counted)

Hence, there are "85" boys behind Kunal.

 _>_ >_ >_ > _> Fauzan >_ > _ (Oldest to Youngest so far)

Sachin is younger than Naman but older than Dhoni.

 Naman > Sachin > Dhoni

Baman is older than Chaman, Fauzan is older than Baman.

Persons: A, B, C, D, E, F, and G.

1) C is shorter than only G. So, G must be the tallest.

2) The number of persons taller than B is equal to the number of persons shorter than D. So, B and D must be either 3rd tallest or 3rd shortest.

G > C > B/D > A/E > D/B > E/A > F

Hence, F is the shortest.

Monalisa is standing in a row, which contains total 45 people. If Monalisa is 27th from left end and Rakhi is 12th from right end. Then what is the ratio between the Monalisa’s position from right end to the Rakhi’s position from left end?

  1. 9 : 11
  2. 16 : 9
  3. 11 : 6
  4. 19 : 34

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 4 : 19 : 34

Ordering and Ranking Question 11 Detailed Solution

Download Solution PDF

The logic followed here is:

Total number of people = 45

Monalisa is 27th from the left end.

So, Place of Monalisa from the right end = 45 - 27 + 1 = 19.

Rakhi is 12th from the right end.

So, Place of Rakhi from the right end = 45 - 12 + 1 = 34.

Now, the ratio between Monalisa’s position from the right end to Rakhi’s position from the left end is:- 19 : 34

Hence, the correct answer is "19 : 34".

Alternate Method

According to the given information:

Total number of people = 45

Monalisa is 27th from the left end.

Rakhi is 12th from the right end.

So, total students 27 + 12 = 39

Hence, overlapping does not occur in this case.

The number of people between them = 45 – 39 = 6

So, we get - 26 (Monalisha) 6 (Rakhi) 11.

Therefore, Monalisa’s position from right end = 45 – 26 = 19

Rakhi’s position from left end = 45 – 11 = 34

Ratio between them = 19: 34

Anil is standing at 16th position from the left end in a row. Vikas is in 18th position from the right end. Gopal is 11th from Anil towards the right and 3rd from Vikas towards the right end. How many persons are standing in this row?

  1. 41
  2. 42
  3. 48
  4. 49

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 1 : 41

Ordering and Ranking Question 12 Detailed Solution

Download Solution PDF

Anil's position 16th from the left end

Vikas's position 18th from the right end

Gopal is 11th from Anil towards the right and 3rd from Vikas towards the right end

The number of boys towards the right of Gopal = Position of Vikas from the right end - Position of Gopal from Vikas - 1 = 18 - 3 - 1 =14

Therefore the total number of boys in the row = Position of Anil from left end + Position of Gopal from Anil + Number of boys towards the right of Gopal

⇒ 16 + 11 + 14 = 41

Hence, the correct answer is "41".

In a class of 100 students, 24 students score more marks than Sharmistha whereas 18 students score lesser marks than Amit. How many students score lesser marks than Sharmistha but more marks than Amit?

  1. 54
  2. 57

  4. 55

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 3 : 56

Ordering and Ranking Question 13 Detailed Solution

From the given information:

Total number of students in a class = 100

Students with marks more than Sharmistha = 24

Students with marks less than Amit = 18 

F1 Savita Railways 2-1-23 D21

Total = 24 + 18 = 42

Now we have to find out the number of students who score lesser marks than Sharmistha but more marks than Amit: 

100 - 42 - 2 (Sharmistha & Amit) ⇒ 100 - 44 = 56

Hence the correct answer is option 3)

Soumya is 17th from the left end and 13th to the right of Kiran who is 37th from the right end. If all of them are facing North. Find out the total number of persons in the row.

  2. 40
  3. 44
  4. 43

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 2 : 40

Ordering and Ranking Question 14 Detailed Solution

Download Solution PDF

The logic followed here is:

The Rank of Soumya from the left end = 17th.

The Rank of Kiran from the right end = 37th.

The Rank of Soumya from the right end = Rank of Kiran from the right end - 13th.

37 - 13 = 24th.

F3 Savita SSC 07-8-24 D1

Total number of person in the row = Rank of Soumya from the left end + Rank of Soumya from the right end - 1.

= 17 + 24 - 1 = 40.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.

Given:

1) Four students ranked between Rahul and Sreeja. Sreeja ranked 14th from the top while Rahul ranked 7th from the bottom.

F1 Savita Railways 27-6-22 D33

2) Total number of students

=> Total number students = Sreeja's rank from top + Rahul's rank from bottom + students between Rahul and Sreeja

=> Total number students = 14 + 7 + 4 = 25

Hence, there are “25” students in the class.
