Number, Ranking and Time Sequence Test

Number Test

In this type of questions, generally a set, group or series of numerals is given and the candidate is asked to trace out numerals following certain given conditions or lying at specifically mentioned positions after shuffling according to a certain given pattern.

Example

How many such 5s are there in the following number sequence each of which is immediately preceded by 3 or 4 but not immediately followed by 8 or 9?

3 5 9 5 4 5 5 3 5 8 4 5 6 7 3 5 7 5 5 4 5 2 3 5 1 0

(A) One (B) Three (C) Four (D) Five (E) None of these

Solution

As you know, a number which comes after a given number is said to follow it while the one which comes before the given number precedes it.

Thus, the number satisfying the given conditions may be marked as follows:

3 5 9 5 4 5 3 5 8 4 6 7 3 7 5 5 4 2 3 1 0

Clearly, there are five such 5s. Hence, the answer is (d).

Number, Ranking and Time Sequence Test

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

Rohan 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

Solution

Clearly, the whole class consists of:

(i)    6 student who have ranks higher than Rohan;

(ii)   Rohan; and

(iii)   25 students who have ranks lower than Rohan, i.e, (6 + 1 +25) = 32 students. Hence, the answer is (b).
