Q 3 - In a row of 40 sheep, the position of a sheep from the top is 27 and similarly in a group of 30 buffalos, the position of a buffalo from last is 13. Calculate the difference between the ranks of that sheep from last and that buffalo from 1st.
Options :
Answer : C
Explanation
The rank of that sheep from the last = (40 - 27) + 1 = 14
The rank of that buffalo from 1st will be = (30 - 13) + 1 = 28
Now the difference of rank is = 28 - 14 = 14
Q 4 - In a cinema hall, 35 viewers were sitting in a row. From the right hand side, the position of Kamal was 7th whereas position of Sunil from the left hand side was 9th. Manoj was sitting exactly in between Kamal and Sunil. Find the position of Kamal from Sunil.
Options :
Answer : A
Explanation
Number of viewers sitting in between Kamal and Sunil can be calculated as
35 - (9 + 7) = 19
So we can say now that 9 viewers were present in between Kamal - Manoj and Manoj - Sunil. So the position of Kamal is 10th from Sunil.

Adding the list of disqualified candidates to it = 32 + 35 = 67
So, total number of applicants is 67.
Q 6 - In a queue, the rank of Sojoy from front is 10th while from behind the rank of Deepak is 25th. Meera is present in the middle of the two. It is given that the total number of persons is 50. Then determine the rank of Ram from the front.
Options :
Answer : B
Explanation
Let’s find the total number of persons present between Sojoy and Deepak = 50 - (10 + 25) = 15
Ram lies in between these 15 persons. That means we can conclude that from Sojoy’s position, he will be at 8th position and from front end his rank will be 18th.
Q 7 - In a row of boys, the rank of Mannu is 6th from the top and 12th from the bottom. Similarly, in another row of boys, rank of Raju is 5th from the top and 15th from the bottom. Calculate the total number of boys present in the two rows.
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
Q 8 - In a row of 40 autos, the position of an auto from the top is 27 and similarly in a group of 30 cars, the position of a car from last is 13. Calculate the difference between the ranks of that auto from last and that car from 1st.
Options :
Answer : B
Explanation
The rank of that auto from the last = (40 - 27) + 1 = 14
The rank of that car from 1st will be = (30 - 13) + 1 = 28
Now the difference of rank is = 28 - 14 = 14
Q 9 - Raju arranged different colours of books on the floor in a row. The red colour book is placed at 12th from the left and white colour is placed at 8th from the right. Other books of 5 colours were placed in between them. Calculate total how many different colours of books did Raju arrange?
Options :
Answer : C
Explanation
As we have already solved this type of problems earlier, we can directly write, the total number of different coloured books will be
= (rank of white colour book) + (rank of red colour book) + Total number of books present in between them
= 8 + 12 + 5
= 25
Q 10 - Rank of Snigdha is 15th from the top in a list of 55 girls. What would be her new rank from the bottom, if 3 new girls will be eliminated from the back of the list?
Options :

Rank of Snigdha before elimination of three girls from bottom = (55 - 15) + 1 = 41
Now elimination of 3 girls from the bottom of the list will reduce the rank of Snigdha further by 3 from bottom. So, the new rank will be = 41 - 3 = 38
