There are 12 persons in a row. The position from the top is 6th and his position from
of Vipul is 7th from left. What is his the bottom is 12th.How many people are
position from the right end? there in a row?
Solution Solution
→Total number of people = 12 →Position of Vishal from both sides is
→Position of Vipul from the left end = 7th provided to us.
→Position of Vipul from the right end = So,
Total number of people in a row + 1 – →A total number of persons in a row =
position of Vipul from →the left end Position of Vishal from Top + Position of
= 12 +1 – 7 Vishal from →Bottom – 1.
=6 →Total number of people in a row = 6th +
→Therefore, Vipul is 6th from the right end 12th – 1
= 17

The middle position out of 31 boys is 16 The Preethi‟s position from end = 36 – 14 +
Hence, Prabu‟s original position from left 1 = 23
end is, 16 – 3 = 13 ∴ Number of girls between Priyanka and
Hence, the original position of Prabu from Preethi is, (23 – 11) – 1 = 12 -1 = 11
right end is, Prithika is in between Priyanka and Preethi,
= (31 – 13) + 1 = 18 + 1 = 19th So exact middle out of 11 girls is 6.
Hence, the prithika‟s position from end is 17
Q3. Correct Answer is: d) .
∴ (23 – 17) -1 = 6 -1 = 5
D>B>C>A
Hence, there are 5 girls between Preethi and
Hence, D is tallest amongst all.
Prithika
Q4. Correct Answer is: a)
Q8. Correct Answer is: d)
Total number of girls in row1 = 19 + 15 –
1= 33
Total number of girls in row2 = 14 + 22 -1
= 35
Hence, the total number of girls in both the
rows = 33 + 35 = 68
Ramya > Kavin > Prabu > Charu > Vimala The arrangement is
According to the question, Kavin bought
mobile for Rs. 25,000 and Vimala bought
Rs.8,000. So,
Thus School B is to left side of school C.
Prabu paid the amount in between Kavin
and Vimala. But, in the options b) and c)
Hence Option D is correct.
both are
possible. So, cannot determine the amount
Q25. Option B
paid by Prabu.
Sushil > Samira > Sanjay
Sushil > Sandeep > Sunil = Samira
Q21. Option A
Clearly, Sushil is the tallest.
Q26. Option D
Final arrangement :
Tulsi
Akram
Bopsi
Priya
Q27. Option B
Veena‟s rank is 17th from the bottom means
Veena‟s rank is 4th from the top. Rohan‟s
rank is exactly between 4th and 12th, ie 8th.
Q34. Option A
Explanation:
16+1+36 = 53 students
Q42. Option D
Q35. Option B
Explanation :
54 – 11 = 43,
Hence 44th rank from last.
N is fairest of them all so N does not come Ashish is a little shorter than Kunal and
into consideration. little taller than Shashi.
Now, given that L is darker than O. Again Rakesh < Shashi < Ashish < Kunal
given that M is fairer than O. Madhur is the tallest.
Thus N < M < O < L Rakesh < Shashi < Ashish < Kunal <
Thus the darkest brother is L. Madhur
Thus Shashi will be second if they stand in
Q45. Option B order of their increasing heights.
Given, Rani ranks 9 from the top and Ravi
ranks 19 from the bottom & there is one Q49. Option A
rank Given, A who is tenth form the left and B
between Rani and Ravi. who is ninth from the right interchange their
So if Rani is 9 from top then Ravi is 11 from positions, thus A becomes 9 from right after
top. interchange
So total number of students in the class = Also given, A becomes fifteenth from the left
Sum of Ravi‟s rank from either side of the after interchange
row – Thus, Total number of boys = (A‟s position
1 = 11 + 19 – 1 = 30 – 1 = 29 from left after interchange + A‟s position
Thus 29 is the answer from right after interchange) – 1 = 15 + 9 –
1 = 24 – 1 = 23
Q46. Option B Thus 23 is the answer.
Arun runs faster than Elias but not as fast as
Dinesh: Q50.Option D
→ Dinesh > Arun > Elias We rewrite the sentences by putting
Dinesh runs faster than Chandar, but not as inequalities in terms of beauty:
fast as Bikram: 1) Asha is more beautiful than Prerna.
→ Bikram > Dinesh > Chander Asha > Prerna
Therefore, Bikram runs the fastest 2) Prerna is not as beautiful as Yashashree.
Prerna < Yashashree
Q47. Option B 3) Madhvi is not as beautiful as Prerna or
The boys are placed in the following way: - Yashashree.
C–E–B–A–D Madhvi < Prerna, Yashashree
From the arrangement, we see that B is From above 3 inequalities, we can conclude,
sitting in the middle. Asha, Yashashree > Prerna > Madhavi
Hence, B is sitting in middle of row Thus Madhavi is least beautiful.
Q48.Option B
Shashi is shorter than Kunal but taller than
Rakesh.
Rakesh < Shashi < Kunal
