Anita is ranked 15th from the top in a class of 45 students. Sita is ranked 20th from the bottom. How many students are there between Anita and Sita?
10
9
11
12
Correct answer
10
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is:
Total number of students = 45
Anita’s rank from the top = 15th
Sita’s rank from the bottom = 20th
So, Sita’s rank from the top = 45 - 20 + 1 = 26th
Number of students between Anita and Sita = (26 - 15) - 1 = 10
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Rohit's wife prefers cozy, informal gatherings and enjoys Indian street food rather than fancy, high-end dining.
Analyzing the options:

2) Tandoori Trails is a fine-dining restaurant specializing in North Indian kebabs and rich curries with sophisticated decor. – Not suitable, because it is fine-dining and formal, not casual or street-food oriented.
3) Royal Rasoi offers an elegant dining experience with traditional Rajasthani royal cuisine served in a palace-like setting. – Not suitable, because it is very formal and luxurious, which does not match her preference for cozy, informal gatherings.
4) Chaat Chowk serves a variety of popular Indian street foods like pani puri, pav bhaji, and aloo tikki in a casual, vibrant, and bustling atmosphere reminiscent of Mumbai's famous street stalls. – Suitable, because it offers casual, street-food dining in a cozy and informal environment, matching her preferences.

Input: dance, apple, zebra, kite, fan, bottle
Step 1: zebra, apple, dance, kite, fan, bottle
Step II: zebra, apple, bottle, dance, kite, fan
Step III: zebra, apple, bottle, dance, fan, kite
Question: What is the logic followed in the above arrangement?
Descending alphabetical order left to right
Alphabetical arrangement from right to left
Largest word to left, smallest word to right in alternating steps
Descending alphabetical order with one word rearranged in each step
Correct answer
Descending alphabetical order with one word rearranged in each step
Why this answer is correct
Logic applied for the input: dance, apple, zebra, kite, fan, bottle
Step I: zebra, apple, dance, kite, fan, bottle
Explanation: The word "zebra" is the largest in descending alphabetical order, so it is placed at the leftmost position.
Step II: zebra, apple, bottle, dance, kite, fan
Explanation: Next, among the remaining words, "apple" is already correctly placed, so "bottle" (smallest among the rest) is arranged in the correct position.
Step III: zebra, apple, bottle, dance, fan, kite
Explanation: Now "fan" is rearranged, and the order progresses step by step.
Thus, the logic followed is: Descending alphabetical order with one word rearranged in each step.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".
Scenario:
Karthik has the following profile:
Education: B.Sc. with 64% and M.Sc. in Chemistry (passed)
Experience: No teaching experience yet
Age: 23 years
Preference: Open to probationary roles
Eligibility Criteria for the Position:
Minimum Age: 24 years
Maximum Age: 30 years
Educational Qualification: At least M.Sc. in Chemistry
Experience: Minimum 2 years in the relevant field
Probationary Roles: Open to candidates with less than 5 years of experience
Minimum Marks in B.Sc.: 65%
Decision:
Based on the provided information, what is the most appropriate decision regarding Karthik's eligibility for the position?
Candidate is to be selected
Information is inadequate
Candidate is not to be selected
Case is to be referred to Principal
Correct answer
Candidate is not to be selected
Why this answer is correct
All conditions are as follows:
| Condition Number | Detail | Fulfillment |
|---|---|---|
| A | Minimum Age: 24 years | No (23 years) |
| B | Maximum Age: 30 years | Yes (23 years) |
| C | Educational Qualification: At least M.Sc. in Chemistry | Yes (M.Sc. Chemistry) |
| D | Experience: Minimum 2 years | No (No experience) |
| E | Probationary roles allowed for candidates with < 5 years experience | Yes (No experience) |
| F | Minimum marks in B.Sc.: 65% | No (64%) |
Karthik fulfills the educational qualification criterion but fails in three essential requirements: minimum age (23 years < 24 years), minimum B.Sc. marks (64% < 65%), and experience (0 years < 2 years). Although probationary roles are available, the candidate still does not meet the minimum eligibility for age and marks.
So, the candidate is not to be selected.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".
f Roll numbers starting with 'A' are assigned to the Science stream, 'B' to the Commerce stream, and 'C' to the Arts stream, which of the following students belong to the commerce stream?
B2745
A3572
C3489
A1258
Correct answer
B2745
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is:
If the roll number starts with 'A', the student belongs to the Science stream.
If the roll number starts with 'B', the student belongs to the Commerce stream.
If the roll number starts with 'C', the student belongs to the Arts stream.
Now checking the given roll numbers:
B2745 → Commerce stream
A3572 → Science stream
C3489 → Arts stream
A1258 → Science stream
So, the student with roll number B2745 belongs to the Commerce stream.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".
In a row of 8 seats, how many ways can 3 people sit next to each other?
72
36
48
54
Correct answer
36
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is:
We need to arrange 3 people such that they always sit together in a row of 8 seats.
Step 1: Treat the 3 people sitting together as 1 single block. This block can occupy positions from seat 1 to seat 6 (because if it starts at seat 6, it will cover seats 6, 7, and 8). So, there are 6 possible positions for this block.
Step 2: Inside this block, the 3 people can arrange themselves in 3! = 6 ways.
Step 3: Multiply the possibilities → 6 × 6 = 36 ways.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".
Identify the number that is unlike the rest:
19
17

19, 17, and 13 are all prime numbers,
Whereas,
21 is not a prime number, it is divisible by 1, 3, 7, and 21.
So, 21 is the odd one from the given options.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".
