Question 1

In an exam, 57 students appeared. 4 students scored the same marks and secured the 26th rank. How many students scored more than them?
Even though 4 students share the rank, the number of students who scored more is still rank - 1 = 26 - 1 = 25.

Question 2

In a row of 40 people, Rohan is 6th from the front and Dev is 9th from the back. How many people are between them?
Non-overlapping case (r1 + r2 ≤ total). Between B = total - (r1 + r2) = 40 - (6 + 9) = 25.

Question 3

In an exam, 56 students appeared. 3 students scored the same marks and secured the 13th rank. How many students scored more than them?
Even though 3 students share the rank, the number of students who scored more is still rank - 1 = 13 - 1 = 12.

Question 4

In a class of 76 students, there are 37 boys and 39 girls. Raj ranks 18th from the top. There are 7 girls before him. How many boys are after his rank (towards the bottom)?
Students before him: 17. Of these, girls before = 7, so boys before = 17 - 7 = 10. Boys after = total boys - boys before - himself = 37 - 10 - 1 = 26.

Question 5

In an exam, 98 students appeared. Priya secured 13th rank. What percentage of students are ahead of Priya?
Students ahead = 12. Percentage = (12/98) × 100 = 12.2%

Question 6

In a row of 41 people, after interchanging positions with B, A becomes 13th from the left and 29th from the right. If B was originally 18th from the right, what was A's original rank from the left?
Since B took A's original position, and B's original right rank was 18, we can find A's original left rank = total - r2_right + 1 = 41 - 18 + 1 = 8.

Question 7

In a row of 37 people, after interchanging positions with B, A becomes 20th from the left and 18th from the right. If B was originally 18th from the right, what was A's original rank from the left?
Since B took A's original position, and B's original right rank was 18, we can find A's original left rank = total - r2_right + 1 = 37 - 18 + 1 = 15.
number_ranking, swap_position, unknown

Question 8

In a row, A is 8rd from left and B is 17th from left. What is the maximum number of persons that can be in the row?
With only these constraints, row can be arbitrarily long. But typically, maximum is not bounded. Here we assume 35 as reasonable maximum.

Question 9

In a row, A and B interchange positions. After interchange, A is 14th from left and B is 21th from left. If originally A was 5th from left, how many people are in the row?
Distance A moved = 9 positions. B moved same distance, so B's original position = 12. Total = B's original left position + (new_left_A - 1) = 30

Question 10

In an exam, 48 students appeared. 3 students scored the same marks and secured the 12th rank. How many students scored more than them?
Even though 3 students share the rank, the number of students who scored more is still rank - 1 = 12 - 1 = 11.

Question 11

In a class of 67 students, there are 32 boys and 35 girls. Gaurav ranks 17th from the top. There are 7 girls before him. How many boys are after his rank (towards the bottom)?
Students before him: 16. Of these, girls before = 7, so boys before = 16 - 7 = 9. Boys after = total boys - boys before - himself = 32 - 9 - 1 = 22.

Question 12

In a row of 41 people, A is 13th from the left. After interchanging positions with B, A becomes 18th from the left. B originally was 17th from the right. What is A's new rank from the right?
After interchange, A's new left rank is 18. So A's new right rank = total - new_left + 1 = 41 - 18 + 1 = 24.
number_ranking, swap_position, unknown

Question 13

In a row, Amit is 14th from the left and Tarun is 19th from the right. They interchange their positions. Now, Amit becomes 19th from the left. What is the total number of people in the row?
When positions are interchanged, using one person's rank from the left and the other's rank from the right at the interchanged positions: T = L + R - 1 = 19 + 19 - 1 = 37.
number_ranking, swap_position

Question 14

In a row of 58 students, A is 35th from the left and S is 44th from the left. Who is ahead of whom?
Since 35 < 44, A is ahead (to the left) of S.

Question 15

In a class of 73 students, there are 37 boys and 36 girls. Gaurav ranks 16th from the top. There are 8 girls before him. How many boys are after his rank (towards the bottom)?
Students before him: 15. Of these, girls before = 8, so boys before = 15 - 8 = 7. Boys after = total boys - boys before - himself = 37 - 7 - 1 = 29.
number_ranking, conditional_grouping

Question 16

In a class, Ved has 11 students ahead of him and 24 students behind him. What is the total number of students in the class?
Total = ahead + behind + 1 = 11 + 24 + 1 = 36.

Question 17

In a row, A is 8th from left and B is 8th from right. What is the maximum number of persons that can be in the row?
Maximum can be arbitrarily large. Example with 40 persons satisfies both conditions.

Question 18

In a row of 43 students, Ali's rank from the right end is 20. What is Ali's rank from the left end?
The total number of people T = 43. Rank from left L = T - R + 1 = 43 - 20 + 1 = 24. So, Ali's rank from the left is 24.

Question 19

In a class of 78 students, there are 38 boys and 40 girls. Meera ranks 15th from the top. There are 9 boys before her in the rank list. How many girls are after her rank (towards the bottom)?
Students before her: 14. Of these, boys before = 9, so girls before = 14 - 9 = 5. Girls after = total girls - girls before - herself = 40 - 5 - 1 = 34.
number_ranking, conditional_grouping

Question 20

In a row, 15 persons are standing before A and 24 persons are standing before B. What is the minimum number of persons in the row?
If both are on the same side, the one with more persons before (B) determines minimum: Minimum total = 24 (before B) + 1 (B himself) = 25.
