In a row of 21 girls, when Monika was shifted by four places towards the right, she became 12th from the left end. What was her earlier position from the right end of the row ?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Ordering and Ranking Question 2 Detailed Solution
In a row of 21 girls, when Monika was shifted by four places towards the right, she became 12th from the left end.
Let us assume that earlier Monika was at 'x'th position from the left end.
After being shifted by four places towards the right, her new position becomes (x + 4)th, which is equal to 12th from the left end.
Therefore, we can write:
x + 4 = 12
⇒ x = 12 - 4
⇒ x = 8
So, Monika's position from the left end of the row is 8th.
Therefore, her position from the right end of the row = (21 - 8) + 1
= 13 + 1
= 14
Hence, ‘14th’ is the correct answer.

Total = 24 + 18 = 42
Now we have to find out the number of students who score lesser marks than Sharmistha but more marks than Amit:

Monalisa is standing in a row, which contains total 45 people. If Monalisa is 27th from left end and Rakhi is 12th from right end. Then what is the ratio between the Monalisa’s position from right end to the Rakhi’s position from left end?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Ordering and Ranking Question 13 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe logic followed here is:
Total number of people = 45
Monalisa is 27th from the left end.
So, Place of Monalisa from the right end = 45 - 27 + 1 = 19.
Rakhi is 12th from the right end.
So, Place of Rakhi from the right end = 45 - 12 + 1 = 34.
Now, the ratio between Monalisa’s position from the right end to Rakhi’s position from the left end is:- 19 : 34
Hence, the correct answer is "19 : 34".
Alternate Method
According to the given information:
Total number of people = 45
Monalisa is 27th from the left end.
Rakhi is 12th from the right end.
So, total students 27 + 12 = 39
Hence, overlapping does not occur in this case.
The number of people between them = 45 – 39 = 6
So, we get - 26 (Monalisha) 6 (Rakhi) 11.
Therefore, Monalisa’s position from right end = 45 – 26 = 19
Rakhi’s position from left end = 45 – 11 = 34
Ratio between them = 19: 34
Anil is standing at 16th position from the left end in a row. Vikas is in 18th position from the right end. Gopal is 11th from Anil towards the right and 3rd from Vikas towards the right end. How many persons are standing in this row?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Ordering and Ranking Question 14 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFAnil's position 16th from the left end
Vikas's position 18th from the right end
Gopal is 11th from Anil towards the right and 3rd from Vikas towards the right end
The number of boys towards the right of Gopal = Position of Vikas from the right end - Position of Gopal from Vikas - 1 = 18 - 3 - 1 =14
Therefore the total number of boys in the row = Position of Anil from left end + Position of Gopal from Anil + Number of boys towards the right of Gopal
⇒ 16 + 11 + 14 = 41
Hence, the correct answer is "41".
Alternate Method
Total Number of boys = Position of Gopal from Left + Right - 1 = 27 + 15 - 1 = 41
Hence, the correct answer is "41".
