For the first time SSC examination will be held in Computer Based pattern and managing time will be one of the important factor while solving the questions. So in order to make students familiar with such a situations we are providing questions in a time based manner , which will help students to manage the time properly.

1.Rahul and Raj 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?

20th and 24th

24th and 20th

25th and 21st

26th and 22nd

Solution:

1.(c) Number of students behind Rahul in rank = (31 – 7) = 24. 
So, Rahul is 25th from the bottom.
 Similarly, number of students behind Raj in rank = (31 – 11) = 20.
 So, Raj is 21st from the bottom.

2.In a row of children A is 13th from the left and D is 17th from the right. If in this row A is 11th from the right then what is the position of D from the left?

12th

7th

10th

6th

Solution:

2. (b) Total number of boys in the row = 13 + 11 – 1 = 23
 Position of D from the left = 23 – 17 + 1 = 7th

3.In a row of boys Mohan is twentieth from the left end and twelfth from the right end. Pratap is fifteenth from the right end in that row. How many boys are there between Mohan and Pratap?

4

2

3

5

Solution:

3. (b) Mohan’s position from the right end = 12th
 Pratap’s position from the right end = 15th
 Number of boys between Pratap and Mohan = 15 – 12 – 1 = 2

4.In a row of forty students R is fifth from the right end and there are ten students between R and D. What is D’s position from the left end of the row?

26th

23rd

25th

Data inadequate

Solution:

4. (c) Here, D’s position from the right end = 5 + 10 + 1 = 16th
 Now, D’s position from the left end = total number of person + 1- position from the right end
                                                              40 + 1 – 16= 25th

5. In a queue of thirty boys, M is eighth from the end and J is twelfth from the front. If there are six boys between J and Q, how many boys are there between M and Q?

10

12

8

Data inadequate

Solution:

5. (d) Here, we have no clear information regarding the positions of J, M and Q.
Therefore, we can’t answer the given question.

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

25th

27th

24th

26th

Solution:

7.In a group of six children, Q is taller than P but not as tall as L. M is taller than N and O, but not as tall as P. Who is the shortest among them?

N

O

M

Data inadequate

Solution:

7. (d) On the basis of given clues, we get L > Q > P > M > N ≥ or ≤ O.
 There is no information about N and O.
 So, data are inadequate.
 Again, since we do not get the exact answer therefore opt ‘Data inadequate’ is your answer.

8. Among five students M is heavier than K and T. B is lighter than T and P. K is not the lightest. Who among them is the lightest?

K

B

T

Data inadequate Data inadequate

Solution:

8. (b) According to the given information,
we get M > K M > T > B P > B
 Now, it is obvious that B is the lightest.

27

37

38

12

13

14

20
