Number, Ranking and Time Sequence Test

In this chapter we deal with questions which are followed with a sequence consisting of numbers, ranking time and logical sequence of words. We have to find answers on the basis of given condition. The importance of such types of questions cannot be overemphasised as their presence in a test of reasoning is almost certain.

Though no explanations are required as how to attempt these questions in exams, in this chapter generally we deal with four types of questions. They are given section wise with solution as well.

1^st: Number test

2^nd: Ranking Test

3^rd: Time sequence Test,

4^th: Logical sequence of words

 

Number Test

Number test problems consists of number sequence/ problems with algebraic expressions, mathematical calculations and other compatible problems.

 

• Example:

1. How many such 7s are there in the following number sequence which are followed by 4 but not immediately preceded by 8?

5 4 7 8 9 7 4 3 8 7 5 7 4 8 7 4 1 2 7 4 5 7 9 4

(a) Two                                                 (b) Three

(c) Four                                                (d) Five

(e) None of these

Ans.     (b)

Explanation: Number of 7s which are immediately followed by 4 but not immediately preceded by 8 are:

\[5\,\,4\,\,7\,\,8\,\,\underset{1}{\mathop{\underline{9\,\,7\,\,4}}}\,\,\,3\,\,8\,\,7\,\,\underset{2}{\mathop{\underline

5\,\,7\,\,4}}}\,\,\,8\,\,7\,\,4\,\,1\,\,\underset{3}{\mathop{\underline{2\,\,7\,\,4}}}\,\,\,5\,\,7\,\,9\,\,4\,\,\]

 

2. A number is 9 times twice the other number. The sum of two numbers is 133. The two numbers are :

(a) 9, 124                                              (b) 11, 122

(c) 17, 166                                            (d) 7, 126

(e) None of these

Ans.     (d)

Explanation: If the smaller number is x, then

\[x+\left( 2x\times 9 \right)=133\]

\[x+18x=133\]

\[19x=133\]

\[x=133-19=7\]

If one number is 7, the other number is:

\[133-7=126\]

 

3. If all the numbers from 1 to 28 which are exactly divisible by 3 are arranged in descending order, which would come at the fifth place from the top?

(a) 12                                                    (b) 21

(c) 15                                                    (d) 18

(e) None of these

Ans.     (c)

Explanation. The numbers divisible by 3 in descending order are: 27, 24 21 18 15, 12, 9, 6, 3 and the number at the fifth place is 15.

Ranking Test

In this type of questions, generally the ranks of a person both from the top and from the bottom are mentioned and the total number of persons is asked. However, sometimes this question is put in the form of a puzzle of interchanging seats by two persons.

 

• Example:

1. Joseph ranks seventh from the top and twenty-sixth from the bottom in a class. How many students are there in the class?

(a) 31                                                    (b) 32

(c) 33                                                    (d) 34

(e) None of these

Ans.     (b)

Explanation: Clearly, the whole class consists of:

(i) 6 students who have ranks higher than Joseph;

(ii) Joseph; and

(iii) 25 students who have ranks lower than Joseph, i.e., (6 + 1 + 25) = 32 students.

 

2. Daniel is fourteenth from the right end in a row of 40 boys. What is his position from the left end?

(a) 24th                                                 (b) 25^th

(c) 26^th                                                   (d) 27^th

(e) None of these

Ans.     (d)

Explanation: Clearly, number of boys towards the left of Daniel = (40 - 14) = 26.

So, Daniel is 27th from the left end. Hence, the answer is (d).

 

3. In a row of boys facing the North, A is sixteenth from the left end and C is sixteenth from the right end. B, who is fourth to the right of A, is fifth to the left of C in the row. How many boys are there in the row?

(a) 39                                                    (b) 40

(c) 41                                                    (d) 42

(e) None of these

Ans.     (b)

Explanation: Clearly, according to the given conditions, there are 15 boys to the left of A, as well as to the right of C. Also, B lies between A and C such that there are 3 boys between A and B; and 4 boys between B and C.

 

So number of boys in the row \[=\left( 15+1+3+1+4+1+15 \right)=40\] Hence, the answer is (b).

4. 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 are three persons ahead of C and 21 behind A, then what could be the minimum number of persons in the queue.

(a) 27                                                    (b) 28

(c) 40                                                    (d) 41

(e) None of these

Ans.     (b)

Explanation: As per the given conditions/ there are two possible arrangements as shown below:

  

 

Clearly, for the minimum number of persons, we shall consider arrangement II, in II, number of persons in the queue \[=\left( 3+1+2+1+21 \right)=28\]

Hence, the answer is (b).  

 

1. In a row of 40 girls, when Komal was shifted to her left by 4 places her number from the left end of the row became 10. What was the number of Swati from the right end of the row if     Swati was three places to the right of Komal's original position?

(a) 22                                                    (b) 23

(c) 24                                                    (d) 25

(e) None of these

Ans.     (c)

Explanation: On shifting 4 places to the left, Komal is 10th from the left end of the row. Thus, KomaFs original position was 14th from the left end.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17.............

Swati is 3 places to the right of Komal’s original position.

Clearly, Swati is 17th from the left end.

Number of girls to the right of Swati = (40 – 17) = 23

Thus, Swati is 24th from the right end of the row.

Hence, the answer is (c).

 

Commonly Asked Questions

1. Aman is 16th from the left end in a row of boys and Vivek is 18th from the right end Gagan is 11th from Aman towards the right and 3rd from Vivek towards the right end. How many boys are there in the row?

(a) 40                                                    (b) 41

(c) 45                                                    (d) 48

(e) None of these

Ans.     (b)

Explanation: Vivek is 18th from the right end and Gagan is third to the right of Vivek. So, Gagan is 15th from the right end.

Thus, there are 15 boys to the left of Aman; 10 boys between and Gagan; and 14 boys to the right of Gagan.

 

So, number of boys in the row \[=\left( 15+1+10+1+14 \right)=41\]

Hence, the answer is (b).

1. In a row of girls, Shilpi is fifth from the left and Sukriti is sixth from the right. When they exchange their positions, then Shilpi becomes thirteenth from the left. What will be Sukriti's position from the right?

(a) 7th                                                    (b) 11th

(c) 14th                                                 (d) 18^th

(e) None of these

Ans.     (c)

Explanation: Shilpi's new position is 13th from left. But it is the same as Sukriti's earlier position which is 6th from the right.

Thus, the row consists of (12 + 1 + 5) = 18 girls.

Now, Preeti's new position is Kamya's earlier position which is 5th from the left.

Number of girls to the right of Preeti = (18 - 5) = 13.

So, Sukriti's new position is 4th from the right.

Hence, the answer is (c).

(c) 38                                                    (d) 39

(e) None of these

Ans.     (b)

Explanation: Clearly, number of boys in the class = (18 + 1 + 18) = 37.

 

4. In a row of boys, Jeevan is seventh from the start and eleventh from the end. In another row of boys, Vikas is tenth from the start and twelfth from the end. How many boys are there in both the rows together?

(a) 36

(b) 37

(c) 39

(d) 38

(e) None of these

Ans. (d)

Explanation: Clearly, total number of boys in both the rows

= (Number of boys in Jeevan's row) + (Number of boys in Vikas' row)

= (6+1+10) + (9 + 1 + 11) = (17 + 21) = 38

 

5. In a class of 60, where girls are twice that of boys, Kamal ranked seventeenth from the top. If there are 9 girls ahead of Kamal, how many boys are after him in the rank?

(a) 3

(b) 7

(c) 12

(d) 23

(e) None of these

Ans.     (c)

Explanation: Let the number of boys be x. Then, number of girls = 2x

\[x+2x\text{ }=60\text{ }or\text{ }3x=60\text{ }or\text{ }x=20\]

So, number of boys = 20 and number of girls = 40

Number of students behind Kamal in rank = (60 - 17) = 43

Number of girls ahead of Kamal in rank = 9

Number of girls behind Kamal in rank = (40 - 9) = 31

\[\therefore \] Number of boys behind Kamal in rank = (43 - 31) = 12.
