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:

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:  $←3C↔8B↔5A→21$

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

Case II:

Number of persons between A and C

= (8 - 6) = 2

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.

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

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

So, Satya is 21st from the bottom.
