Now, Position of Ganesh = 11th from the right = 11th from the left

Rakesh ranks 15th from top in the class of 42 students and there are 8 students below Rajesh rank. How many students are there between Rakesh and Rajesh?

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Rankings - Question 3

Given:

Rakesh ranks 15th from top

Rajesh's rank from top = 42 - 8 = 34th

The total number of students between Rakesh and Rajesh is 34 - 15 - 1 = 18

Drawing the diagram,

There are ‘18’ students are there between Rakesh and Rajesh.

Hence, “18” is the correct answer.

Mistake Points 
There are 8 students below Rajesh rank - it means the rank of Rajesh is 9th from the bottom.

MCQ: Rankings - Question 4

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?

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Rankings - Question 4

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".

MCQ: Rankings - Question 5

There are 47 peoples are walking on the road one by one. Hardik is walking at the 23rd place from the front. Sam is walking at the 31st place from the back. There are 2 peoples walking between Sam and Manoj. Manoj is walking behind Sam. How many peoples are between Hardik and Manoj?

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Rankings - Question 5

Position of Hardik from the front = 23rd

Position of Sam from the front = (47 – 31 + 1) = 17

There are 2 peoples walking between Sam and Manoj

So, the position of Manoj = 17 + 2 + 1 = 20

Number of peoples between Hardik and Manoj = 23 – 20 – 1 = 2

Hence, Option b is the correct.

MCQ: Rankings - Question 6

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Rankings - Question 6

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.

3) Neither A nor E is shortest. So, E and A must be taller than F.

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

Hence, F is the shortest.

MCQ: Rankings - Question 9

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?

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Rankings - Question 9

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".

On combining the statements, we get,

(Front end is taken on the top and back end is taken on the bottom) 

Total number of persons in the queue are 14 + 5 + 9 + 2 = 30

Therefore, 30 is the correct answer.

MCQ: Rankings - Question 11

A is richer than B, C is richer than A, D is richer than C. E is the richest of all. If they are made to sit in the above degree of richness, who will have the central position?

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Rankings - Question 11

According to the question, A, B, C, D, and E are made to sit as per their richness.

1. A is richer than B. Then, A > B

2. C is richer than A. Then, C > A

3. D is richer than C. Then, D > C

4. E is the richest of all.

That means E is richer than the remaining four.

Therefore, E > D > C > A > B

Hence, 'C' will have the central position.

MCQ: Rankings - Question 12

Ram's number in a row is fifth from either side, then how many persons are there in the row?

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Rankings - Question 12

Total person in the row = 9

So, the correct answer is "9".

MCQ: Rankings - Question 13

In a row of 21 men when Manish was shifted by four places towards the right, now he becomes 12th from the left end. What was his earlier position from the right end of the row?
