Q 5 - Five boys are arranged in a row on a table. From left hand side. Chintu has been placed in 2nd position. Now sequentially new boy has been added on left and another on right side of the row. After how many iterations, the rank of Chintu will be 8th from right hand side? Adding one boy to the right and left counts as 1 iteration.
Options :
Answer : C
Explanation
Adding boys to the left most side will not change the rank of Chintu but adding to the right will change the rank. Before adding, the rank of Chintu is 4th from bottom. So if we calculate, we will notice that after 4 iterations, the rank of Chnitu will be 8th from the right hand side.
Q 6 - 50 students are sitting in a row. From left, the position of Rahim is 13th. Find the rank of Ram from the right end.

= 37 + 1
= 38
Q 7 - Calculate the total number of dancers needed to make it 60, if rank of a dancer in that group is 8th from the top and 27th from the bottom.

Extra dancers needed = 60 - 34 = 26
Q 8 - If the rank of Rohan is 7th from the top in a group of 50 candidates and 2 new candidates are added just before and after him, what will be his new rank from bottom?

Adding of candidates just before Rohan will not change his rank from bottom. Before addition, the rank of Rohan from bottom is
= (50 - 7) + 1 = 44
Now adding 2 candidates just after Rohan will increase his rank by 2 positions. Hence; the new rank of Rohan from bottom will be = 44 + 2 = 46
