Concept of Order and Ranking Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Order and Ranking questions are meant to evaluate your ability to identify the ranking or order of people or objects in a specific order. The order may be based on height, age, weight, position, or any other variable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 An example: There are 10 students in a row, A is the 5th student from the left, and B is the 7th student from the right – how many students are in between A and B?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These types of questions draw upon logic and understanding the positional relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Types of Order and Ranking Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In this section, we are discussing types of Order and Ranking questions that have been appearing in previous year examinations.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ranking in a Row (Linear Arrangement)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

These involve people or objects arranged in a straight line, either facing the same direction or opposite directions.
Example:<\/strong> If A is 10th from the left and B is 15th from the right in a row of 30 students, find the number of students between A and B.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Formula:<\/strong>
<\/strong>Total number of persons = (Left position of A + Right position of B) \u2013 1<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ranking from Both Ends<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

These questions require candidates to find the total number of people when ranks are given from both ends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Example:<\/strong>
<\/strong>Ravi is ranked 6th from the top and 10th from the bottom in a class. How many students are there in the class?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Formula:<\/strong>
<\/strong>Total = Top rank + Bottom rank \u2013 1<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finding Position or Rank<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes you need to find the new position or rank of a person when some individuals are added or removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Example:<\/strong>
<\/strong>Amit\u2019s rank is 12th from the top. If 5 students ahead of him leave the competition, what will be his new rank?
Solution:<\/strong> New rank = Old rank \u2013 Number of students leaving before him
Hence, New rank = 12 \u2013 5 = 7th<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comparative Ranking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Here, you are required to compare the ranks of two or more individuals based on different parameters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Example:<\/strong>
<\/strong>In an exam, A ranks 5th and B ranks 9th. If A scored 20 marks more than B, what can we infer about their ranks or positions?
These questions are often combined with arithmetic or logical reasoning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Circular or Mixed Order Ranking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In some cases, ranks are given in a circular arrangement or with additional data such as direction (clockwise or anticlockwise). These are slightly advanced and require visualisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
