BNPM Ranking Test Objective Questions for practice
1. Ahmed is taller than Salim. Salim is not as tall as Ahmed but taller than Akbar. Sohan too is not as tall as Salim but taller than Akbar. Who is the tallest ?
(a) Salim
(b) Akbar
(c) Ahmed (ANS)
(d) Sohan
Hints & Solutions : At first we arrange the given information's and arrange boys in the descending order of height :
(i) Ahmed is taller than Salim.
i.e., Ahmed > Salim → (i)
(ii) Salim is not as tall as Ahmed but taller than Akbar.
i.e., Ahmed > Salim > Akbar → (ii)
(iii) Sohan too is not as tall as Salim but taller than Akbar.
i.e., Ahmed > Salim > Sohan > Akbar
Hence, Ahmed is the tallest.

3. Shrikant is shorter than Nilima. Pratima is taller than Shrikant. Subhash is taller than Nilima but shorter than Heramb. Nilima is taller than Pratima. Who will be in the middle if they stand in a row according to descending order of height ?
(a) Pratima
(b) Subhash
(c) Shrikant
(d) Nilima (ANS)
Hints & Solutions : At first we arrange the row in descending order,
(i) Shrikant is shorter than Nilima.
Nilima > Shrikant → (i)
(ii) Pratima is taller than Shrikant.
Pratima > Shrikant → (ii)
(iii) Subhash is taller than Nilima but shorter than Heramb.
i.e., Heramb > Subhash > Nilima → (iii)
(iv) Nilima is taller than pratima
i.e., Nilima > Pratima → (iv)
From (i),(ii),(iii) and (iv),the order is
Heramb > Subhash > Nilima > Pratima > Shrikant.
Hence, Nilima is in the middle.
4. If Anita is taller than Surjit but shorter than Kusum and Surjit is just as tall as Kalpana but taller than Vanita, then Kalpana is
(a) just as tall as Anita
(b) taller than Kusum
(c) shorter than Anita (ANS)
(d) shorter than Surjit
Hints & Solutions : At first we arrange the given information's in the descending order.
(i) Anita is taller than Surjit but shorter than Kusum.
i.e., Kusum > Anita > Surjit → (i)
(ii) Surjit is just as tall as kalpana but taller than Vanita.
i.e., Surjit = Kalpana > Vanita → (ii)
From (i) and (ii) the order will be, Kusum > Anita > Surjit = Kalpana > Vanita
Hence, Kalpana is shorter than Anita.
5. Among five friends, Mohan is older than Raju but not as old as Lalit. Lalit is older than Neelesh and Kabir. Neelesh is younger than Raju but not the youngest. Who is the fourth in the descending order of age ?

6. A, B, C, D, and E are five rivers. A is shorter than B but longer than E. C is the longest and D is little shorter than B and little longer than A. Which is the shortest river ?
(a) B
(b) C
(c) D
(d) E (ANS)
Hints & Solutions : At first we arrange the given information's in the descending order of length.
(i) A is shorter than B but longer than E.
i.e., B > A > E → (i)
(ii) C is the longest and D is little shorter than B and little longer than A
i.e., C > B > D > A → (ii)
From (i) and (ii) we can write the order :
C > B > D > A > E
Hence, E is the shortest river.
7. Shyam is taller than Pradeep and Pradeep is equal to Anurag. But Anand is smaller than Suresh who is equal to Anurag. If Pradeep is taller than praveen, who is the tallest of all ?
(a) Pradeep
(b) Praveen
(c) Suresh
(d) Shyam (ANS)
Hints & Solutions : At first we arrange the given information's in the descending order of height.
(i) Shyam is taller than Pradeep who is equal to Anurag.
i.e., Shyam > Pradeep = Anurag → (i)
(ii) Anand is smaller than Suresh, who is equal to Anurag
i.e., Suresh = Anurag > Anand → (ii)
(iii) Pradeep is taller than praveen
i.e., Pradeep > Praveen → (iii)
From (i),(ii) and (iii).
Hence, Shyam is the tallest of all.
8. Sumit ranked ninth from top and thirty eighth from the bottom in a class. How many students are there in the class ?
(a) 47
(b) 48
(c) 45
(d) 46 (ANS)
Hints & Solutions : From formula,
Total number of students in the class = (Sumit's rank from top) + (Sumit's rank from the bottom) - 1
= 9 + 38 - 1 = 47 - 1 = 46
9. In a row of trees one tree is fifth from either end of the row. How many trees are there in the row ?
(a) 8
(b) 9 (ANS)
(c) 10
(d) 11
Hints & Solutions : One tree is fifth from either end of the row. That means, four trees are before and four trees are after that tree.
∴ Total number of trees = 4 + 1 + 4 = 9

Directions (Qns. 11to 16) : Read the following information carefully and answer the questions given below.
A famous museum issues entry passes to all its visitors for security reasons. Visitors are allowed in batches after every one hour. In a day there are six batches. A code is printed on entry pass which keeps on changing for every batch. Following is an illustration of pass-codes issued for each batch.
Batch I : clothes neat and clean liked are all by
Batch II : by clothes neat all are and clean liked
Batch III : Liked by clothes clean and neat all are and so on ....
Explanatory Ans : - (11-16) : On careful analysis of the given pass-codes it is evident that the last word of the previous code becomes the first word for the next batch and the first and the second words shifted to the second and the third positions respectively. Again the seventh and the sixth words occupy the fourth and fifth positions respectively and then the third, the fourth and the fifth words of the previous code are written in the same order in the pass-code for the next batch. Thus,
Pass code for Batch I
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
clothes neat and clean liked are all by
Pass code for Batch II
8 1 2 7 6 3 4 5
by clothes neat all are and clean liked
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Pass code for Batch III
8 1 2 7 6 3 4 5
liked by clothes clean and neat all are
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Pass code for Batch IV
8 1 2 7 6 3 4 5
are liked by all neat clothes clean and
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Pass code for Batch V
8 1 2 7 6 3 4 5
and are liked clean clothes by all neat
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Pass code for Batch VI
8 1 2 7 6 3 4 5
neat and are all by liked clean clothes
Now on the basis of above analysis we can summaries the procedure for getting pass code for each subsequent batch with reference to the passcode for Batch I in the following manner :
Pass code for Batch I
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
clothes neat and clean liked are all by
Pass code for Batch II
8 1 2 7 6 3 4 5
by clothes neat all are and clean liked
Pass code for Batch III
5 8 1 4 3 2 7 6
liked by clothes clean and neat all are
Pass code for Batch IV
6 5 8 7 2 1 4 3
are liked by all neat clothes clean and
Pass code for Batch V
3 6 5 4 1 8 7 2
and are liked clean clothes by all neat
Pass code for Batch VI
2 3 6 7 8 5 4 1
neat and are all by liked clean clothes
Thus, we can write any required step i.e. pass code for any batch from the given pass code directly.

5 8 1 4 3 2 7 6
night succeed day and hard work to for
Pass code for Batch IV
2 3 6 7 8 5 4 1
work hard for to succeed night and day
12. If 'visit in zoo should the we time day' is the pass-code for the fifth batch, 'zoo we the should visit day time in' will be the pass-code for which of the following batches ?
A) II
B) IV
C) I
D) III (Ans)
E) VI
Explanatory Ans : - Pass code for Batch V
3 6 5 4 1 8 7 2
visit in zoo should the we time day
Given Pass code
5 8 1 4 3 2 7 6
zoo we the should visit day time in
Clearly, this is the pass code for Batch III.
