Q:

# Three persons A, B and C are standing in a queue. There are five persons between A and B and eight persons between B and C. If there be three persons ahead of C and 21 persons behind A, what could be the minimum number of persons in the queue?

 A) 41 B) 40 C) 28 D) 27

Explanation:

$\therefore$ Three persons A, B, C can be arranged in a queue in six different ways, ie ABC, CBA, BAC, CAB, BCA, ACB. But since there are only 3 persons ahead of C, so C should be in front of the queue. Thus, there are only two possible arrangements, ie CBA and CAB.

We may consider the two cases as under:

Case I:  $\inline \overset{3}{\leftarrow}C\overset{8}{\leftrightarrow}B\overset{5}{\leftrightarrow}A\overset{21}{\rightarrow}$

Clearly, number of persons in the queue = (3+1+8+1+5+1+21=) 40

Case II: $\inline \overset{3}{\leftarrow}C\; \; A\overset{5}{\leftrightarrow}B$

Number of persons between A and C

= (8 - 6) = 2                                   $\inline [\because C\overset{8}{\leftrightarrow}B, A\overset{21}{\rightarrow}]$

Clearly number of persons in the queue = (3+1+2+1+21) = 28

Now, 28 < 40. So, 28 is the minimum number of persons in the queue.

Q:

In a row of boys, Haran is eleventh from the left and manoj is seventeenth form the right. When they exchange their places than Haran will be thirteenth from the left. Which of the following will be the new position of Manoj from the right ?

 A) 11 B) 19 C) 13 D) 17

Explanation:

=> Manoj replaces Harans place of 11th from left

But in the question he asked Manoj's place from right = 30 - 11 = 19th place.

Q:

Manoj and Satya are ranked seventh and eleventh respectively from the top in a class of 31 students. What will be their respective ranks from the bottom in the class ?

 A) 25th and 21st B) 26th and 22nd C) 20th and 24th D) 24th and 20th

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 25th and 21st

Explanation:

Number of students behind Manoj in rank = (31 - 7) = 24.

So, Manoj is 25th from the bottom.

Number of students behind Satya in rank = (31 - 11) = 20.

So, Satya is 21st from the bottom.
