Question 9

In a class of 40 students, Rajesh's rank from the top is 15th. What is his rank from the bottom?

Accepted Answer

This is a basic ranking problem testing the relationship between rank from top and rank from bottom. The formula is: Rank from bottom = Total number of students - Rank from top + 1. Here: 40 - 15 + 1 = 26.

Question 10

Seven students stand in a line. Arun is 4th from the left. What is his position from the right?

Accepted Answer

If Arun is 4th from the left in a line of 7, then there are 3 students to his left. From the right: 7 - 4 + 1 = 4th from the right.

Question 11

Five friends—Anil, Bina, Charu, Devi, and Eka—are standing in a line. Charu is 2nd from the left. Eka is 2nd from the right. Anil is to the left of Bina. Who is standing in the middle?

Accepted Answer

Charu is 2nd from left (position 2). Eka is 2nd from right (position 4). Anil is left of Bina. Remaining positions: 1, 3, 5 for Anil, Bina, Devi. Since Anil is left of Bina, and position 3 is middle: Anil at 1, Devi at 3, Bina at 5. Devi is in the middle.

Question 12

In a class of 40 students, Rajesh's rank from the top is 12th. What is his rank from the bottom?

Accepted Answer

To find rank from bottom when rank from top is given: Rank from bottom = Total students - Rank from top + 1. Here: 40 - 12 + 1 = 29th from bottom.

Question 13

In a queue of 12 people, Neha is 7th from the front. Exactly 3 people are standing between Neha and Rohan. How many possible positions can Rohan occupy?

Accepted Answer

Neha is 7th from front. Exactly 3 people between Neha and Rohan means Rohan is either 4 positions away (3 people in between). From position 7: position 7 - 4 = 3 (4th from front) or position 7 + 4 = 11 (11th from front). Both are valid in a queue of 12. So 2 possible positions.

Question 14

In a race, Priya finishes before Quincy. Quincy finishes before Ravi. Sita finishes after Ravi but before Priya. Who finishes first?

Accepted Answer

From the clues: Priya < Quincy (Priya before Quincy). Quincy < Ravi. Ravi < Sita < Priya. Combining: Priya < Quincy < Ravi < Sita < Priya creates a contradiction. Re-reading: Sita is after Ravi but before Priya means Ravi < Sita < Priya. And Priya < Quincy < Ravi. So: Priya < Quincy < Ravi < Sita. But Sita < Priya contradicts. Correct reading: Priya finishes before Quincy (P < Q). Quincy before Ravi (Q < R). Sita after Ravi but before Priya (R < S < P). Order: Q < R < S < P. So Quincy finishes first.

Question 15

In a race, Priya finished ahead of Neha, and Neha finished ahead of Meera. Meera finished ahead of Deepa. Who finished last among the four?

Accepted Answer

Order from the given statements: Priya > Neha > Meera > Deepa. Deepa is at the last position.

Question 16

In a class of 40 students, Rajesh's rank from the top is 12th. What is his rank from the bottom?

Accepted Answer

To find rank from bottom when rank from top is given: Rank from bottom = Total students - Rank from top + 1. Here: 40 - 12 + 1 = 29th

Question 17

In a row of 20 students, Ravi is 8th from the left end. What is his position from the right end?

Accepted Answer

Position from right = (Total students – Position from left) + 1 = (20 – 8) + 1 = 13. So Ravi is 13th from the right end.

Question 18

Among 6 books on a shelf, Book A is 3rd from the left. Book B is immediately to the right of Book A. What is Book B's position from the left?

Accepted Answer

Question 19

In a merit list of 50 students, Meera's rank is 15th from the top. Neha's rank is 10 positions below Meera's rank. What is Neha's rank from the bottom?

In a building, there are 8 floors. Apartment A is on a floor such that there are exactly 3 floors above it. Apartment B is 2 floors below Apartment A. On which floor is Apartment B?
