Question 1

In an exam, 117 students appeared. Neha secured 83th rank. What is Neha's approximate percentile?
Percentile = (Number of students below / Total) × 100 = (34/117) × 100 = 29.1%

Question 2

In a row of 56 students, Q is 26th from the left. What is the sum of Q's rank from left and from right?
Sum = Left rank + Right rank = 26 + 31 = 57.

Question 3

In a row, Bina is 14th from the left and Tarun is 21th from the right. They interchange their positions. Now, Bina becomes 19th from the left. What is Tarun's new rank from the right?
First find total: T = 19 + 21 - 1 = 39. After interchange, Tarun takes Bina's old position from left (14). So Tarun's rank from right = T - 14 + 1 = 39 - 14 + 1 = 26.

Question 4

In a class of 75 students, there are 33 boys and 42 girls. Meera ranks 16th from the top. There are 7 boys before her in the rank list. How many girls are after her rank (towards the bottom)?
Students before her: 15. Of these, boys before = 7, so girls before = 15 - 7 = 8. Girls after = total girls - girls before - herself = 42 - 8 - 1 = 33.

Question 5

In a row, Neel is 6th from the left and Sara is 24th from the right. If Sara is 8th from the left, how many people are there in the row?
Using T = L + R - 1 with Sara's left rank 8 and right rank 24: T = 8 + 24 - 1 = 31.

Question 6

In an exam, 47 students appeared. 3 students scored the same marks and secured the 23th 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 = 23 - 1 = 22.

Question 7

In a row, Bina is 10th from the left and Usha is 19th from the right. They interchange their positions. Now, Bina becomes 16th from the left. What is Usha's new rank from the right?
First find total: T = 16 + 19 - 1 = 34. After interchange, Usha takes Bina's old position from left (10). So Usha's rank from right = T - 10 + 1 = 34 - 10 + 1 = 25.

Question 8

In a row, Bina is 14th from the left and Sneha is 20th from the right. They interchange their positions. Now, Bina 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 + 20 - 1 = 38.

Question 9

In a queue, Mohan is 17th from the front and Nisha is 22th from the back. If there are 32 people in the queue, how many people are standing between Mohan and Nisha?
Overlapping case because r1 + r2 = 39 > total 32. Between B = (r1 + r2) - total - 2 = 39 - 32 - 2 = 5.

Question 10

In a row of 36 students, Neha's rank from the right end is 16. What is Neha's rank from the left end?
The total number of people T = 36. Rank from left L = T - R + 1 = 36 - 16 + 1 = 21. So, Neha's rank from the left is 21.

Question 11

In an exam, 118 students appeared. Neha secured 53th rank. What is Neha's approximate percentile?
Percentile = (Number of students below / Total) × 100 = (65/118) × 100 = 55.1%

Question 12

In a row, A and B interchange positions. After interchange, A is 11th from left and B is 20th from left. If originally A was 6th from left, how many people are in the row?
Distance A moved = 5 positions. B moved same distance, so B's original position = 15. Total = B's original left position + (new_left_A - 1) = 25

Question 13

In an exam, 51 students appeared. 2 students scored the same marks and secured the 41th rank. How many students scored more than them?
Even though 2 students share the rank, the number of students who scored more is still rank - 1 = 41 - 1 = 40.

Question 14

In a row, Bina is 14th from the left and Usha is 20th from the right. They interchange their positions. Now, Bina 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 + 20 - 1 = 38.

Question 15

In a row, Amit is 14th from the left and Tarun is 23th from the right. They interchange their positions. Now, Amit becomes 19th from the left. What is Tarun's new rank from the right?
First find total: T = 19 + 23 - 1 = 41. After interchange, Tarun takes Amit's old position from left (14). So Tarun's rank from right = T - 14 + 1 = 41 - 14 + 1 = 28.
number_ranking, swap_position

Question 16

In a row, A and B interchange positions. After interchange, A is 11th from left and B is 21th from left. If originally A was 3th from left, how many people are in the row?
Distance A moved = 8 positions. B moved same distance, so B's original position = 13. Total = B's original left position + (new_left_A - 1) = 29

Question 17

In a row, 12 persons are standing before A and 19 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 = 19 (before B) + 1 (B himself) = 20.

Question 18

In an exam, 104 students appeared. Rahul secured 56th rank. What is Rahul's approximate percentile?
Percentile = (Number of students below / Total) × 100 = (48/104) × 100 = 46.2%

Question 19

In a class, Nikhil has 2 students ahead of him and 36 students behind him. What is the total number of students in the class?
Total = ahead + behind + 1 = 2 + 36 + 1 = 39.

Question 20

In an exam, 98 students appeared. Neha secured 5th rank. What is Neha's approximate percentile?
Percentile = (Number of students below / Total) × 100 = (93/98) × 100 = 94.9%
