Number, Ranking &
Ordering Test
1. 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 specific mentioned positions after shuffling according
to a certain given pattern.
Solved examples
Ex.1 How many such 5's 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?
35954553584567357554523510
(1) None (2) Three (3) Four (4) Five
Sol. 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 numbers satisfying the given conditions may be marked as follows:
35954 5 53584 5 673 5 7554 5 23 5 10

N
Clearly, there are five such 5's. Hence, the answer is (4).
Ex.2 In the series given below, how many 8s are there each of which is exactly divisible by its immediate preceding as
well as succeeding numbers?

E
2838248248682824838286
(1) One (2) Two (3) Three (4) Four
Sol. Clearly, we may mark such sets of 3 numbers, in which the middle number is 8 and each of the two numbers on

L
both sides of it is a factor of 8, as shown below:
28382 482 4868 282 4838286
So, there are two such 8's. Hence, the answer is (2).

L
Ex.3 In the series, 6 4 1 2 2 8 7 4 2 1 5 3 8 6 2 1 7 1 4 1 3 2 8 6
how many pairs of successive numbers have a difference of 2 each?
(1) Four (2) Five (3) Six (4) Seven
Sol. Clearly, the pairs of successive numbers having a difference of 2 can be shown as follows :

A
6 4 12287 42 1 53 86 21714 13 2 86
Thus, there are six such pairs. Hence, the answer is (3).
Ex.4 How many such pairs of digits are there in the number 531268947 each of which has as many digits between
them in the number as when they are arranged in descending order?
CBSE-2021\Module\Advance\10th (NTSE)\Mental Ability-1\11 Number, Ranking & Ordering Test\11_Theroy & Exe.p65

(1) None (2) One (3) Two (4) More than three
Sol. The given number is : 531268947.
Arranging the digits in descending order, we get: 987654321.
We have the following pairs of digits, satisfying the given conditions.
Digits in Given Number Digits in Descending Order
5312 5432
3126 6543
12 21
1268947 7654321
268947 765432
89 98
947 987
Thus, we have 7 such pairs, namely (5, 2), (3, 6), (1, 2), (1, 7), (2, 7), (8, 9) and (9, 7). Hence, the answer is (4).
Ex.5 If it is possible to form a number with the second, the fifth and the eighth digits of the number 31549786, which
is the perfect square of a two-digit even number, which of the following will be the second digit of that even
number?
(1) 1 (2) 4 (3) 6 (4) No such number can be formed
Sol. The 2nd, 5th and 8th digits of the number 31549786 are 1, 9 and 6 respectively.
The perfect square of a two-digit even number, formed using the digits 1, 9 and 6 is 196. And, 196 = 14 2.
So, the required even number is 14. Clearly, its second digit is 4. Hence, the answer is (2).

2. Ranking & Ordering 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.
Solved Examples
Ex.1 Rohan ranks seventh from the top and twenty-sixth from the bottom in a class. How many students are there in
the class?
(1) 31 (2) 32 (3) 33 (4) 34
Sol. Clearly, the whole class consists of :
(i) 6 students 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 (2).
Ex.2 Manik is fourteenth from the right end in a row of 40 boys. What is his position from the left end?

N
(1) 24th (2) 25th (3) 26th (4) 27th
Sol. Clearly, number of boys towards the left of Manik = (40 – 14) = 26.
So, Manik is 27th from the left end. Hence, the answer is (4).

E
Ex.3 In a row of boys facing the North, A is sixteenth from the left end and C is sixteenth from the right end. B, who
is fourth to the right of A, is fifth to the left of C in the row.
How many boys are there in the row?

L
(1) 39 (2) 40 (3) 41 (4) 42
Sol. Clearly, according to the given conditions, there are 15 boys to the left of A, as well as to the right of C. Also,

L
B lies between A and C such that there are 3 boys between A and B ; and 4 boys between B and C.
N

A B C

A
15 3 4 15
So, number of boys in the row = (15 + 1 + 3 + 1 + 4 + 1 + 15) = 40. Hence, the answer is (2).
Ex.4 In a row of 40 girls, when Komal was shifted to her left by 4 places her number from the left end of the row
became 10. What was the number of Swati from the right end of the row if Swati was three places to the right

CBSE-2021\Module\NTSE Crash Course\Mental Ability\Verbal\11 Number, Ranking & Ordering Test\11_Theroy & Exe.p65
of Komal's original position?
(1) 22 (2) 23 (3) 25 (4) None of these
Sol. On shifting 4 places to the left, Komal is 10 from the left end of the row. Thus, Komal's original position was
th

14th from the left end.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 ............
K K S

Swati is 3 places to the right of Komal's original position. Clearly, Swati is 17 th from the left end.
Number of girls to the right of Swati = (40 – 17) = 23.
Thus, Swati is 24th from the right end of the row. Hence, the answer is (4).
Ex.5. In a row of girls, Kamya is fifth from the left and Preeti is sixth from the right. When they exchange their
positions, then Kamya becomes thirteenth from the left. What will be Preeti's position from the right?
(1) 7th (2) 11th (3) 14th (4) 18th
Sol. Kamya's new position is 13th from left. But it is the same as Preeti's earlier position which is 6 th from the right.
Thus, the row consists of (12 + 1 + 5) = 18 girls.
Now, Preeti's new position is Kamya's earlier position which is 5th from the left. Number of girls to the right of
Preeti = (18 – 5) = 13.
So, Preeti's new position is 14th from the right. Hence, the answer is (3).
