Worksheet 23 of 30 (76% complete)

Question 1

In a class of 75 students, there are 33 boys and 42 girls. Riya ranks 18th from the top. There are 10 boys before her in the rank list. How many girls are after her rank (towards the bottom)?
Students before her: 17. Of these, boys before = 10, so girls before = 17 - 10 = 7. Girls after = total girls - girls before - herself = 42 - 7 - 1 = 34.

Question 2

In a row, Bina is 12th from the left and Usha is 24th 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 + 24 - 1 = 39. After interchange, Usha takes Bina's old position from left (12). So Usha's rank from right = T - 12 + 1 = 39 - 12 + 1 = 28.

Question 3

In a class of 25 students, Anaya ranks 23th from the top. How many students are ahead of Anaya?
Students ahead = rank - 1 = 23 - 1 = 22.

Question 4

20 people are sitting around a circular table. Person A is at position 19 and Person B is at position 17 (when numbered clockwise from 1 to 20). What is the minimum number of people between A and B?
Clockwise distance: 18 steps, Anti-clockwise: 2 steps. Minimum people between = min(18, 2) - 1 = 1.

Question 5

In an exam, 40 students appeared. 2 students scored the same marks and secured the 26th 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 = 26 - 1 = 25.

Question 6

In a row, A and B interchange positions. After interchange, A is 9th from left and B is 14th from left. If originally A was 3th from left, how many people are in the row?
Distance A moved = 6 positions. B moved same distance, so B's original position = 8. Total = B's original left position + (new_left_A - 1) = 20

Question 7

In an exam, 113 students appeared. Neha secured 78th rank. What percentage of students are behind Neha?
Students behind = 35. Percentage = (35/113) × 100 = 31.0%

Question 8

In a row of 31 people, Sia is 8th from the front and Anita is 11th from the back. How many people are between them?
Non-overlapping case (r1 + r2 ≤ total). Between B = total - (r1 + r2) = 31 - (8 + 11) = 12.

Question 9

In a class of 40 students, Sara ranks 19th from the top. How many students are behind Sara?
Students behind = total - rank = 40 - 19 = 21.

Question 10

In a row of 38 people, Tanvi is 7th from the front and Dev is 10th from the back. How many people are between them?
Non-overlapping case (r1 + r2 ≤ total). Between B = total - (r1 + r2) = 38 - (7 + 10) = 21.

Question 11

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 12

In a row of 44 people, after interchanging positions with B, A becomes 18th from the left and 27th from the right. If B was originally 15th 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 15, we can find A's original left rank = total - r2_right + 1 = 44 - 15 + 1 = 13.

Question 13

In a class of 65 students, there are 33 boys and 32 girls. Meera ranks 18th 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: 17. Of these, boys before = 7, so girls before = 17 - 7 = 10. Girls after = total girls - girls before - herself = 32 - 10 - 1 = 21.

Question 14

In a row of 55 students, Q is 17th from the left and R is 20th from the left. How many students are between them?
Between = |20 - 17| - 1 = 3 - 1 = 2.

Question 15

In a row, Meena is 3th from the left and Karan is 20th from the right. If Karan is 12th from the left, how many people are there in the row?
Using T = L + R - 1 with Karan's left rank 12 and right rank 20: T = 12 + 20 - 1 = 31.

Question 16

19 people are sitting around a circular table. Person A is at position 6 and Person B is at position 12 (when numbered clockwise from 1 to 19). What is the minimum number of people between A and B?
Clockwise distance: 6 steps, Anti-clockwise: 13 steps. Minimum people between = min(6, 13) - 1 = 5.

Question 17

In a row of 38 students, Ravi's rank from the left end is 22. What is Ravi's rank from the right end?
The total number of people T = 38. Rank from right R = T - L + 1 = 38 - 22 + 1 = 17. So, Ravi's rank from the right is 17.

Question 18

In a class of 67 students, there are 36 boys and 31 girls. Gaurav ranks 16th from the top. There are 10 girls before him. How many boys are after his rank (towards the bottom)?
Students before him: 15. Of these, girls before = 10, so boys before = 15 - 10 = 5. Boys after = total boys - boys before - himself = 36 - 5 - 1 = 30.

Question 19

In a row of 41 people, Isha is 4th from the left. If Vikram is 30th from the right, what is Vikram's rank from the left?
Rank from left L = T - R + 1 = 41 - 30 + 1 = 12.

Question 20

In a queue, Kabir is 16th from the front and Nisha is 23th from the back. If there are 26 people in the queue, how many people are standing between Kabir and Nisha?
Overlapping case because r1 + r2 = 39 > total 26. Between B = (r1 + r2) - total - 2 = 39 - 26 - 2 = 11.
