Question 1

In a class ranking, Priya is 12th from the top and 19th from the bottom. How many students are in the class?

Accepted Answer

Total students = Position from top + Position from bottom - 1. Here: 12 + 19 - 1 = 30.

Question 2

In a line of 50 students, Neha is 20th from the left. Pooja is 15th from the right. How many students are between Neha and Pooja?

Accepted Answer

Neha is 20th from left. Pooja is 15th from right, which means she is 50 - 15 + 1 = 36th from left. Students between them = 36 - 20 - 1 = 15.

Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

This is a basic number ranking problem testing the formula: Rank from bottom = Total students - Rank from top + 1. Here, Rank from bottom = 40 - 12 + 1 = 29th.

Question 4

In a ranking of 60 employees, Vikram is 25th from the top. If 8 employees are removed from the top of the ranking, what will be Vikram's new position from the top?

Accepted Answer

Vikram is currently 25th from top. When 8 employees above him are removed, his position shifts up by 8. New position = 25 - 8 = 17th from top.

Question 5

In a row of 25 students, Rajesh is 8th from the left end. What is his position from the right end?

Accepted Answer

To find position from the right end when position from left is known: Position from right = Total number - Position from left + 1. Here: 25 - 8 + 1 = 18.

Question 6

In a queue of 40 people, Arun is 15th from the front. How many people are behind Arun?

Accepted Answer

If Arun is 15th from the front, there are 14 people in front of him. People behind = Total - Position from front = 40 - 15 = 25.

Question 7

Among 40 students, Arjun's rank from the top is 15th. Bhavna's rank from the bottom is 12th. How many students are ranked between Arjun and Bhavna (not including either of them)?

Accepted Answer

This question tests the ability to determine the number of people between two given ranks using both top and bottom references.

Question 8

In a class ranking, Priya is 12th from the top and 19th from the bottom. Arun is 5 ranks below Priya. What is Arun's rank from the top?

Accepted Answer

This question tests the ability to calculate total strength from given ranking positions and then determine another person's rank using relative positioning.

Question 9

In a queue, Meera is 9th from the front. There are 4 people between Meera and Rohan, with Rohan closer to the back. How many people are in front of Rohan?

Accepted Answer

This question tests understanding of relative positioning with an explicit constraint about the number of people between two positions.

Question 10

Seven friends are standing in a line. Vikram is 3rd from the left. Neha is 2nd to the right of Vikram. What is Neha's position from the left?

Accepted Answer

This question tests sequential positioning and the ability to track relative positions using directional references (left/right).

Question 11

In a race, Ravi finished 8th from the end among 25 runners. How many runners finished ahead of Ravi?

Accepted Answer

This question tests the conversion between 'from the end' ranking to 'from the start' ranking and counting positions ahead.

Question 12

In a ranking of 12 students, Priya is ranked 5th from the top. Vikram is ranked 3 positions below Priya. Neha is ranked exactly halfway between Vikram's position and the bottom of the ranking. What is Neha's rank from the top?

Accepted Answer

This question tests the ability to track multiple ranking positions simultaneously and perform calculations based on relative positions and constraints.

Question 13

In a ranking of 12 students, Rahul is 5 positions below Priya. If Priya is ranked 3rd from the top, what is Rahul's rank from the bottom?

Accepted Answer

This tests the ability to convert between top-to-bottom and bottom-to-top rankings while handling position offsets.

Question 14

In a merit list of 50 students, Harshit's rank is 18th from the top. Isha's rank is 22nd from the bottom. Jaya is ranked such that she is exactly halfway between Harshit and Isha in terms of position. If Karan is ranked 5 positions below Jaya, what is Karan's rank from the bottom?

Accepted Answer

Tests chained positional reasoning with midpoint calculation and final direction conversion—a multi-step hard problem.

Question 15

In a ranking of 12 students, Priya is ranked 5th from the top. Rahul is ranked 3 positions below Priya. Meera is ranked exactly halfway between Rahul's position and the bottom. How many students are ranked below Meera?

Accepted Answer

This question tests the ability to track multiple ranking positions simultaneously, handle positional arithmetic, and avoid common counting errors when dealing with 'halfway' constraints in a fixed-size group.

Question 16

In a class of 40 students, Divya's rank from the top is 12th. Esha's rank from the bottom is 15th. How many students are ranked between Divya and Esha (not including either of them)?

Accepted Answer

Tests the ability to find the gap between two students given ranks from opposite ends, requiring careful counting without double-counting.
