Test: Ranking - 2 - CAT MCQ

According to given conditions,

Total person in the row = (Position of Ram from left + Position of Ram from right) - 1
⇒ (5 + 5) - 1 = 10 - 1 = 9
Total person in the row = 9
So, the correct answer is "9".

L, M, N and O are brothers.
1) L is darker than O.
O > L
2) N is the fairest of all.
N > _ > _ > _
3) M is fairer than O.
M > O 
Combining all the statements;
(Fairer) N > M > O > L (Darker)
L is the darkest among all.
Hence, the correct answer is "L".

According to the question, We get,
Older → E > D > C > A > B ← Younger.
The oldest of all will be E.
Hence, the correct answer is "E".

Sindhu is 15^th from front end and Madhu is 10^th from back end.
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.

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".

From the statements:
⇒ Baby is shorter than Anil.
Anil > Baby
⇒ Anil is taller than Sunny who is shorter than Baby.
Anil > Baby > Sunny
⇒ Anil is taller than Bose who is shorter than Sunny.
Thus, the final arrangement is as follows:
Anil > Baby > Sunny > Bose
We can see that Bose is the shortest.
Hence, Bose is correct.

 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. 

(1) Suresh is younger than Neeraj but older than Umesh.
Neeraj > Suresh > Umesh
(2) Umesh is older than Satish.
Neeraj > Suresh > Umesh > Satish
(3) Tarun is older than Ritesh but younger than Satish.
Neeraj > Suresh > Umesh > Satish > Tarun > Ritesh
(4) 1) Manish is the youngest.
Neeraj > Suresh > Umesh > Satish > Tarun > Ritesh > Manish
So, 'Neeraj' is the eldest among them.
Hence, the correct answer is "(b)".

For this question, sitting arrangment will be-

Now, Position of Ganesh = 11th from the right = 11th from the left
Total no. of seats = Ganesh's position from left + Ganesh's position from right - 1
Total no. of seats = 11 + 11 - 1 = 21
Hence, Option (c) is correct.

The logic is:
Given: Five friends L, M, N, O and P read a newspaper.
1) The one who reads first gives it to N, that indicates N reads at second.
2) The one who reads last had taken it from L, that indicates L reads the second last i.e. at 4th position.
3) P was not the first or last to read it that means P reads the newspaper exactly in between among all.

4) There were two readers between M and L that means M reads the first.

Hence, O is the correct answer.
