On the second day two trees from the left side and one tree from the right side was taken out. Find the new rank of the rose tree from the left hand side.

Options :

Answer : C

Explanation

In a list of 101 trees, the middle tree will be ranked 51. Now as we are trying to find out the rank from the left hand side, hence; removal of the trees from the right hand side will not affect.

However; if we remove two trees from the left hand side, then the new rank of the rose tree will be (51 - 2) = 49 from the left.

Q 6 - The strength of a class is 35. From the bottom, the position of Gopal is 7^th and Chinmaya is placed at 9^th from the top. Tanmaya is present at the middle position in between Sanjaya and Chinmaya. Determine the position of Gopal from Tanmaya.

Options :

Answer : A

Explanation

Total number of students present between Gopal and Chinmaya

Options :

Answer : C

Explanation

Total number of boys present in Mannu’s row = (12 + 6) - 1 = 17

Total number of boys present in Raju’s row = (15 + 5) - 1 = 19

Total boys in 2 rows = 17 + 19 = 36
