  • d)
    All the given statements are true
  • e)
    E definitely obtained 480 marks
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Shekhinah Reddy answered
Given information:
- A obtained more marks than only two people.
- B obtained more marks than D but not the highest.
- F obtained more marks than only C.
- The one with second highest marks obtained 480 marks.
- The one with second lowest marks obtained 350 marks.

To determine the truth about E's marks, we need to analyze the given information.

Analysis:
- A obtained more marks than only two people. This means A is third from the bottom.
- F obtained more marks than only C. This means F is second from the bottom.
- The one with second highest marks obtained 480 marks. This means the highest marks are more than 480 marks.
- The one with second lowest marks obtained 350 marks. This means the lowest marks are less than 350 marks.

From the above analysis, we can conclude that:
- E obtained more marks than A and F.
- E obtained less marks than the one with second highest marks.
- E obtained more marks than the one with second lowest marks.

Therefore, option B is true as E possibly obtained 500 marks, but we cannot say for sure as we do not have the exact marks of E.

In a classof 180, where girls are twice the number of boys. Ritesh a boy ranked thirty fourth from the top. If there are eighteen girls ahead of Rupesh how many boys are after him in rank?

  • b)
    44
  • c)
    60
  • d)
    Can’t be determine
  • e)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Arjun Verma answered
Given information:
- Total number of students = 180
- Number of girls = 2*number of boys
- Ritesh (a boy) is ranked 34th from the top
- There are 18 girls ahead of Rupesh

To find: Number of boys after Rupesh in rank

Solution:
1. Let the number of boys be x. Then, the number of girls will be 2x.
2. Total number of students = x + 2x = 3x
3. Ritesh is ranked 34th from the top. Therefore, there are 33 students ahead of him in rank.
4. Number of girls ahead of Ritesh = 2*33 = 66
5. Number of boys ahead of Ritesh = x - 33
6. Total number of students ahead of Rupesh = 33 + 18 = 51
7. Number of girls ahead of Rupesh = 51 - (x - 33) = 84 - x
8. As per the given information, number of girls = 2*number of boys
Therefore, 2x - (84 - x) = x + 18
3x = 102
x = 34
9. Number of boys after Rupesh = Total number of boys - Number of boys ahead of Rupesh
= 34 - (x - 33)
= 34 - 1
= 33

Therefore, the number of boys after Rupesh in rank is 33, which is option (b).

In a row of boys, A is fifteenth from left and B is fourth from right end there are three boys between A and B. C is first left of A. What is C’s position from right?
  • a)
    9th
  • b)
    10th
  • c)
    12th
  • d)
    13th
  • e)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Faizan Khan answered
The correct option is A.
Total no of boys = position of A from left + Position of B from right + total boys between A and B.
= 15 + 4 + 3 = 22.
Position of A is 15th from left.
Again, left of A is C -
position of C from left = 15-1 = 14
position of c from right = 22+1 - 14 = 9

  • c)
    21                                                                      
  • d)
    23                      
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Faizan Khan answered
B is the correct option. When Rubal shifted three places towards the left then the position of Rubal was 12th from the right end... And Anuradha is 7th from right end and there are 5 girls between them...So, 12+7+5=24

Q.Rohan is 7 ranks ahead of Karan in a class of 39. If Karan’s rank is seventeenth from the last. What is Rohan’s rank from the start? 
a)14th
b)15th
c)16th 
d)17th
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Sayali kapoor answered
Given:
- Rohan is 7 ranks ahead of Karan in a class of 39.
- Karan's rank is seventeenth from the last.

To find:
- Rohan's rank from the start.

Solution:
- Karan's rank from the start = Total number of students in the class - Karan's rank from the last + 1
- Karan's rank from the last = 17
- Total number of students in the class = 39
- Karan's rank from the start = 39 - 17 + 1 = 23

- Rohan's rank from the start = Karan's rank from the start + 7 (as Rohan is 7 ranks ahead of Karan)
- Rohan's rank from the start = 23 + 7 = 30

Therefore, Rohan's rank from the start is 30.

Urvashi dubey answered
Explanation:
To determine which child is directly behind the dog, we need to analyze the given information step by step.

Step 1: Initial Position
- Premrajan is ahead of the dog walking down the street.
- Krishnarajan is directly behind the dog.
- Rangarajan is behind Krishnarajan.
- Natrajan is behind Rangarajan.

Step 2: Premrajan joins the pursuit
- As the children and dog pass, Premrajan turns around and joins the pursuit.
- He runs in behind Rangarajan.

Step 3: Krishnarajan runs faster
- Krishnarajan runs faster and is alongside the dog on the left.
- This means that Krishnarajan is no longer directly behind the dog.

Step 4: Rangarajan runs faster
- Rangarajan runs faster and is alongside the dog on the right.
- This means that Rangarajan is no longer directly behind the dog.

Conclusion:
Based on the given information and the steps above, we can conclude that none of the children (Krishnarajan, Rangarajan, Natrajan, or Premrajan) is directly behind the dog. The correct answer is option 'E' (None of these).

Arvind suri answered
Problem: Aruna ranks twelfth in a class of forty-six. What will be her rank from the last?

Solution:

Given, Aruna ranks twelfth in a class of forty-six.

To find: Her rank from the last.

We can find her rank from the last by subtracting her rank from the total number of students and adding 1 to the result.

Formula: Rank from the last = Total number of students – Rank + 1

Applying the above formula, we get,

Rank from the last = 46 – 12 + 1
Rank from the last = 35

Therefore, Aruna’s rank from the last is 35.

Answer: Option (c) 35.

  • c)
    27                      
  • d)
    26
  • e)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Dia Mehta answered
The correct option is B.
On shifting 4 the left Komal is 10th from the left end of the row. Thus, Komal's original position was 14th from the left end.

Swati is 3 places to the right of Komal's original positions Clearly, swati is 17 th from the left end. Number of girls to the right of swati =(40−17)=23.
 Thus, Swati is 24th from the right end of the row.
 

Q. In a row of boys, Jai is eighth from the right and Krish is twelfth from the left. When Jai and Krish interchange positions, Krish becomes twenty first from the left. Which of the following will be Jai’s position from the right? 
a)8th 
b)17th
c)21st 
d)Cannot be determined
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Jatin Unni answered
**Given Information:**
- Jai is eighth from the right.
- Krish is twelfth from the left.
- When Jai and Krish interchange positions, Krish becomes twenty-first from the left.

**To Find:**
- Jai's position from the right after the interchange.

**Solution:**
Let's analyze the given information step by step.

1. Initial Positions:
- Jai is eighth from the right.
- Krish is twelfth from the left.

2. Interchanging Positions:
- When Jai and Krish interchange positions, Krish becomes twenty-first from the left.
- This means that Jai moves to the left and Krish moves to the right.
- Since Krish was initially twelfth from the left and becomes twenty-first from the left, he moves 9 positions to the right.
- Therefore, Jai also moves 9 positions to the left.

3. Finding Jai's New Position:
- Jai was initially eighth from the right.
- After moving 9 positions to the left, Jai's new position from the right will be 8 + 9 = 17.

Therefore, Jai's position from the right after the interchange is 17th.

Hence, option B) 17th is the correct answer.

Naveen is taller than Vipin but shorter than Sonu. Sonu is taller than Harry but shorter than Amar. Who among them is the shortest with regard to height?
  • a)
    Naveen                                                   
  • b)
    Vipin                 
  • c)
    Harry                                                
  • d)
    Cannot be determined
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Ishan Datta answered
Explanation:

Given information:

- Naveen is taller than Vipin but shorter than Sonu.
- Sonu is taller than Harry but shorter than Amar.

From the given information, we can conclude that:

- Sonu > Naveen > Vipin
- Amar > Sonu > Harry

But we cannot determine who among them is the shortest because we do not have any information about their exact heights or any comparison between Amar and Vipin/Harry. Therefore, the correct answer is option 'D' - Cannot be determined.

In conclusion, even though we have some information about their heights relative to each other, we do not have enough information to determine who among them is the shortest.

Learnpro Institute answered
Reference: Number of persons on the right of Roop was same as the number of persons on the left of Gaur.
Gaur sits on the left of Roop.
Deep sits exactly in the middle of Roop and Gaur
Inference: Let’s assume that number of persons on the right of Roop and on the on the left of Gaur was X, and the number of persons between Deep and Roop, and Gaur and Deep are Y. Then, Order of persons in the row = X persons + Gaur + Y persons + Deep + Y persons + Roop + X persons
Reference: Number of persons between Deep and Roop were twice the number of persons on the right of Roop, who was 58th from the left end.
Inference: After using the above references, we have: Position of Roop from left end = 58th And, Number of persons between Deep and Roop were twice the number of persons on the right of Roop i.e. 2X = Y.
Here, Number of persons to the left of Roop in the row = X persons + Gaur + Y persons + Deep + Y persons.
Now, 57 = X persons + 1 + 2X persons + 1 + 2X persons X = 11 persons Then,
Order of persons in the row = 11 persons + Gaur + 22 persons + Deep + 22 persons + Roop + 11 persons
Following the final solution we can say that there were 69 persons in the row.
Hence, the correct answer is option C.

Ritika Choudhury answered
Ans: b
Explanation: If we count till Joseph from the left side, then he will be 19 dancers. Similarly, from the right-hand side, the total number of students to Joseph will also be 19. Now adding both and subtracting 1 (dual occurrence of Joseph) we will get = 19 + 19 - 1 = 37.

Prachi ranks sixteenth from the top and fifteenth from the bottom in a certain examination. How many students are there in her class?

  • d)
    33           
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Sarika chauhan answered
To find the total number of students in Prachi's class, we need to add the number of students above her in the ranking (from the top) and the number of students below her in the ranking (from the bottom), and then subtract one (to remove the double counting of Prachi herself).

Let's assume that there are 'x' students above Prachi in the ranking and 'y' students below her in the ranking.

From the information given in the question, we know that Prachi ranks 16th from the top and 15th from the bottom. Therefore, we can write two equations based on the given information:

1) x + 15 = y (Prachi is 15th from the bottom)
2) x + y + 1 = total number of students (Adding the number of students above and below Prachi, and subtracting Prachi herself)

To solve these equations, we can substitute the value of y from equation 1 into equation 2:

x + (x + 15) + 1 = total number of students
2x + 16 = total number of students

Now, let's substitute the value of x from equation 1 into this equation:

2(x + 15) + 16 = total number of students
2x + 30 + 16 = total number of students
2x + 46 = total number of students

So, the total number of students in Prachi's class is 2x + 46.

Since we need to find the value of x, let's solve equation 1:

x + 15 = y
x = y - 15

Now, substitute this value of x into the equation for the total number of students:

total number of students = 2(y - 15) + 46
total number of students = 2y - 30 + 46
total number of students = 2y + 16

We know that Prachi ranks 15th from the bottom, so y = 15. Substitute this value into the equation:

total number of students = 2(15) + 16
total number of students = 46

Therefore, there are 46 students in Prachi's class.

However, none of the given options match this answer. So, there might be some error in the question or options provided.

Anjali Basak answered
Given information:
- Vipul is taller than Kartik.
- Vipul is not as tall as Sam.
- Arvind is taller than Sabha.
- Arvind is shorter than Kartik.

To find: Who is tallest in the group?

Solution:
We can start by arranging the boys in order of their height, based on the given information:

Sam > Vipul > Kartik > Arvind > Sabha

From this order, we can see that Sam is the tallest in the group. Therefore, option (a) Sam is the correct answer.

Explanation:
- Sam is taller than Vipul, who is taller than Kartik. Therefore, Sam is taller than Kartik.
- Arvind is taller than Sabha, but shorter than Kartik. Therefore, Arvind is shorter than Sam and Vipul.
- Thus, Sam is the tallest in the group.

Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Amisha rane answered
Solution:

  • Let's represent the height of each person with their initials. For example, let the height of Manish be M, Pushpa be P, and so on.

  • From the given information, we know that:


    • Nageena is taller than Pushpa (N > P)

    • Manish is taller than Nageena (M > N)

    • Reena is taller than Namita (R > N)

    • Pushpa is taller than Namita (P > N)

    • From the above two statements, we can also infer that Pushpa is taller than Reena (P > R)


  • Putting these statements together, we can create the following height chart:


    • M > N > P > R > N


  • From this chart, we can see that Manish is the tallest among all the given persons, and hence the correct answer is option A.

- C is not as heavy as A.
- D is heavier than B but shorter than him.

To find: Who is the heaviest?

Let's analyze the given information step-by-step.

Step 1: B is heavier than A and C.

- B > A
- B > C

Step 2: C is taller than B.

- C > B

Step 3: D is not as tall as C.

- C > D

Step 4: A is shorter than C.

- C > A

Step 5: C is not as heavy as A.

- A > C

Step 6: D is heavier than B but shorter than him.

- D > B
- B > D

From the above information, we can conclude that:

- A < c="" />< b="" />< />

Therefore, the heaviest person is D.

Hence, the correct answer is option 'C'.

  • b)
    9 Feet
  • c)
    13 Feet               
  • d)
    16 Feet
  • e)
    17 Feet

Possible height of pole Q

Given information:
- P is taller than only three poles.
- S is taller than T but shorter than U.
- U is shorter than P.
- Q is not the tallest.
- The second shortest pole is 2 feet tall.
- The third tallest pole is 5 feet tall.
- The tallest pole is 11 feet taller than S.

From the given information, we can create a height chart as follows:

P > U > S > T > Q > R

Now, we need to find the possible height of pole Q.

Assuming that the shortest pole is 1 foot tall, we can fill in the chart as follows:

P > 6 > U > 5 > Q > 2

From the given information, we know that the tallest pole is 11 feet taller than S. Therefore, if S is x feet tall, then the tallest pole is (x + 11) feet tall.

We also know that U is shorter than P. Therefore, U cannot be the tallest pole. This means that S must be the tallest pole.

Using the given information, we can create the following equations:

S > T
U < />
S = x
T = 5
Q ≠ tallest pole

We can use these equations to eliminate some of the possibilities for the height of pole Q.

Eliminating options:
- If Q were 4 feet tall, it would be shorter than the second shortest pole. Therefore, Q cannot be 4 feet tall.
- If Q were 13 feet tall, it would be taller than U and P, which is not possible. Therefore, Q cannot be 13 feet tall.
- If Q were 16 or 17 feet tall, it would be taller than the tallest pole (S + 11 feet). Therefore, Q cannot be 16 or 17 feet tall.

Possible option:
- This leaves us with option B, 9 feet tall, which is consistent with the given information and the height chart.

Therefore, the possible height of Q is 9 feet.

Learnpro Institute answered
Reference: Computer book contains fewer pages than only two books.
The book which contain third lowest pages contain 28 pages.
Inference: After using the above hints, we have:

Reference: English book contains more pages than Science book but less than Sanskrit book.
Science book does not contain least pages.
Sanskrit book contains fewer pages than Hindi book.
Inference: After using the above hints, we have:

At this point we can say that Maths book contains least number of pages.

Following the final solution we can say that Sanskrit book contains 54 pages.
We have,
Pages in English book = 28 pages
Pages in Computer and English book = 63 pages
∴ Pages in Computer Book = 35 pages
Now, Pages in Sanskrit and Computer = 89 pages
∴ Pages in Sanskrit Book = 54 pages
Hence, the correct answer is option B.

Bibek Menon answered
Explanation:

Given,
B is heavier than A and C.
C is taller than B.
D is not as tall as C.
A is shorter than C.
C is not as heavy as A.
D is heavier than B but shorter than him.

To find: Who is the shortest?

From the given information, we can make the following observations:

- B > A and B > C (B is heavier than A and C)
- C > B (C is taller than B)
- D < c="" (d="" is="" not="" as="" tall="" as="" />
- A < c="" (a="" is="" shorter="" than="" />
- A > C (C is not as heavy as A)
- D > B and D < b="" (d="" is="" heavier="" than="" b="" but="" shorter="" than="" />

From the above observations, we can gather that:

- A < c="" />< b="" />< d="" (height="" and="" weight="" order="" from="" shortest="" to="" tallest="" and="" lightest="" to="" />
- Therefore, the shortest person is either A or D.

However, we cannot determine who is shorter between A and D as their heights have not been directly compared in the given information.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 'C' - Either A or D.

Q. Who among the following men is tallest?
  • a)
    Subodh                                                   
  • b)
    Roshan                            
  • c)
    Keshav                                             
  • d)
    Hemant

Six persons – Sumer, Anant, Parth, Rajat, Karan and Gaurav, played in a cricket match and scored different number of runs. Sumer scored more runs than only Parth and Gaurav. Anant scored less runs than Karan, who was not highest scorer. The Second highest person scored 78 runs.
Q. What of the following are the possible runs scored by Rajat?
  • a)
    88
  • b)
    76
  • c)
    55
  • d)
    78
  • e)
    70
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Prerna Choudhary answered

Analysis:
- Sumer scored more runs than only Parth and Gaurav.
- Anant scored less runs than Karan, who was not the highest scorer.
- The second highest person scored 78 runs.

Solution:
- Since Sumer scored more runs than only Parth and Gaurav, we can deduce the order of runs scored as follows:
1. Sumer
2. Karan
3. Rajat
4. Anant
5. Parth
6. Gaurav

- Karan is not the highest scorer, so the highest scorer must be someone other than Karan. Therefore, the second highest scorer is Karan with 78 runs.

- Based on the order of runs scored, we can determine that Rajat scored more runs than Anant, Parth, and Gaurav. Therefore, the possible runs scored by Rajat are:
- 88

Therefore, option 'A' (88) is the correct answer.

    Can’t be determined
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Anmol Chakraborty answered
Given Information:
- Roop is 58th from the left end
- Number of persons on the right of Roop = Number of persons on the left of Gaur
- Gaur sits on the left of Roop
- Deep sits exactly in the middle of Roop and Gaur
- Number of persons between Deep and Roop were twice the number of persons on the right of Roop

Solution:
- Since Roop is 58th from the left end, the number of persons on the right of Roop = 58 - 1 = 57
- According to the given information, the number of persons on the left of Roop = 57
- Gaur sits on the left of Roop, so Gaur is 56th from the left end
- Deep sits exactly in the middle of Roop and Gaur, so Deep is at the 57th position from the left end
- Number of persons between Deep and Roop = 57 - 1 = 56
- According to the given information, the number of persons between Deep and Roop is twice the number of persons on the right of Roop, which is 57
- Therefore, the position of Deep from the right end of the row = Total number of persons - Position of Deep from the left end + 1
- Total number of persons = 58 (Roop's position from the left end) + 57 (Number of persons between Roop and Deep) = 115
- Position of Deep from the right end = 115 - 57 + 1 = 59
Thus, the position of Deep from the right end of the row is 59th, which is not listed in the options provided. Therefore, the correct answer is that it cannot be determined.
