Test: Ranking- 1 - UPSC MCQ

T > P, B

T < A, Q

P > B

A, Q > T > P > B

So, either A or Q is the tallest.

M > P, T > R

T > R > M > P (M is older than only P)

Hence, T is the eldest.

R < M; Q < R, N; N < M

M > N / R > Q

Prabir > Mohit

Mihir > Prabir

Suresh > Sanchit

Mohit > Suresh

Hence, Mihir > Prabir > Mohit > Suresh > Sanchit

Hence, Mihir won the race.

Manav's rank from the top = 15 – 4 = 11th.

Manav's rank from the bottom

= 20 + 1 – 11 = 10th

Geeta > Shilpa

Deepa > Geeta

Reepa > Gayatri

Fatima is the seniormost

But no other data is there to find who is the juniormost.

The order in which the six flags were flown from L to R is France, America, India, Australia, Japan, China.

There may be many assumptions and hence many sets of answers.

According to Mohit: Apr 18 or earlier ...(i)

According to his sister: April 18 or 19 ...(ii)

From (i) and (ii), we get Apr 18.

169, 196 and 961, which are the squares of 13, 14 and 31 respectively.

Of these, 14 is ruled out because it is even.

We are still left with two such numbers — 13 and 31.

We have,
Raju sits 15 th from the left and Damu sits 9 th from the left.
Order of persons in the row = 8 persons + Damu + 5 persons + Raju
Also, Ramu who sits exactly between Raju and Damu, is 10 th from the right.
Order of persons in the row = 8 persons + Damu + 2 persons + Ramu + 2 persons + Raju + 6 persons
Total persons in the row = 8 persons + 1 + 2 persons + 1 + 2 persons + 1 + 6 persons
∴ Total persons in the row = 21 persons
Hence, the correct answer is option C.

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 the position of Deep from the right end of the row is 35.
Hence, the correct answer is option D.

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.

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 two books have more pages in English book but less pages than Hindi book.
Hence, the correct answer is option C.

Reference: Computer book contains fewer pages than only two books.

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.
