Normal practice, or a Simulated test

Both use the same questions. Normal practice is untimed and needs no account: choose an option and the answer and solution appear at once. The Simulated test is the real computer-based format, with one 50-minute clock, a question palette and full screen, and your score, the key and the solutions arrive when you submit.

About this test

Order and Ranking Level 2 Practice Quiz: Row Positions and Class Ranks

This Level 2 order and ranking set builds the skill of working out positions in a row from both ends. It covers row totals, interchange of positions, people between two persons, class ranks when some students fail or are absent, and height, weight and score comparisons. Aptitude360 explains each problem through a worked, step-by-step solution.

Topics covered in this Order and Ranking set

  • Finding the total number of persons in a row from left and right positions
  • Persons sitting between two people and the midway position
  • Interchange of positions and shifting a few places left or right
  • Rank from top and bottom among passed students, with failed and absent students
  • Positions in queues, piles of books and stacks of files
  • Height, weight, age and test-score comparison chains, such as third tallest or second shortest

Key formulas and rules for ranking in a row

  • Total in a row: \( N = L + R - 1 \)
  • Position from the right: \( R = N - L + 1 \)
  • Persons between A and B (no overlap): \( N - (L_{A} + R_{B}) \)
  • Total after an interchange: \( N = L_{A}' + R_{B} - 1 \)

Revision tips for order and ranking problems

  • Draw a simple line diagram and place each person on it before calculating.
  • Check whether the two positions overlap before applying the persons-between formula.
  • For pass and fail problems, count passed students first, then add failed students. Absent students did not appear in the test.
  • Write comparison chains in a single line from tallest to shortest to read off any rank.

Who should take this Level 2 practice set

This set suits reasoning aspirants for bank, SSC and similar exams who already know the basic row formulas and want medium-level practice on mixed ranking problems.

FAQs about Order and Ranking Practice Questions with Detailed Solutions – Level 2

What is the formula for order and ranking in reasoning?
The total number of persons in a row equals the position from the left plus the position from the right, minus one. You can rearrange the same relation to find a missing position from either end.
How do you find the number of persons between two people in a row?
If the positions do not overlap, subtract the sum of the first person's position from one end and the second person's position from the other end from the total. If they overlap, the method changes, so a quick diagram helps.
How do you solve order and ranking reasoning for bank exams?
Draw the row or comparison chain, note the given positions and apply the total-position relation. Most problems reduce to adding positions from both ends and adjusting for overlap or interchange.
How do you find rank when some students failed?
First find the number of passed students using the rank from top and bottom. Then add the failed students to get the number who appeared, and add absent students only if the class strength is asked.
