Question :16

number-and-ranking-verbal-reasoning

Clearly, according to the given conditions, there are 15 boys to the left of A , as well as to the right of C.

Also, B lies between A and C such that there are 3 boys between A and B and 4 boys between B and C.

So, number of boys in the row = (15 + 1 + 3 + 1 + 4 + 1 + 15) = 40.

Question :17

In a class of 60, where girls are twice that of boys, Kamal ranked seventeenth from the top. If there are 9 girls ahead of Kamal, how many boys are after him in rank ?

Answer: (b)

Let the number of boys be x.

Then, number of girls = 2x.

∴ x + 2x = 60 or 3x = 60 or x = 20.

So, number of boys = 20 and number of girls = 40.

Number of students behind Kamal in rank (60 – 17) =43.

Number of girls ahead of Kamal in rank = 9.

Number of girls behind Kamal in rank = (40 – 9) = 31

∴ Number of boys behind Kamal in rank = (43 – 31) = 12.

Question :18

In a queue, A is eighteenth from the front while B is sixteenth from the back. If C is twentieth from the front and is exactly in the middle of A and B, then how many persons are there is the queue ?

Answer: (b)

A is 18th from front and C is 24th

Number of persons between A and C = 6.

Since C is exactly in middle of A and B, so number of persons between C and B = 6.

number-and-ranking-verbal-reasoning

∴ Number of persons in the queue

= ( 17 + 1 + 6 + 1 + 6 + 1 + 15 ) = 47.

Question :19

If the interchange their places, then Rita and Monika occupy seventh place from the right and eighteenth place from the left respectively. How many girls are there in the row ?

This position is 17th from the right and 10th from the left

∴ Number of girls in the row = (16 + 1 + 9) = 26.

Question :20

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 ..............

number-and-ranking-verbal-reasoning

Swati is 3 places to the right of Komal's original positions
