Ordering and Ranking: Bank Exam Practice Questions (SBI, IBPS, RRB, PO & Clerk)

Ans: C

Explanation: The question states that the finishing times are listed in ascending order (slowest to fastest). Then, the list is rearranged from fastest to slowest. The original list is, for example, A-B-C-D-E-F (slowest to fastest). Rearranging this from fastest to slowest gives F-E-D-C-B-A. The fifth position in the rearranged list would be B.

Ans: D

Explanation: The question asks for the last person in alphabetical order. We need to compare the first letter of each option: A, B, J, P, and U. Alphabetically, the order is: A, B, J, P, U. U is the last letter in this list. However, because we are using the options to represent the names, we must check the options themselves. Option A: B; Option B: J; Option C: P; Option D: U; Option E: T. Alphabetical order of the options based on the name given by the question is: B, J, P, T, U. Therefore, U is at the end.
Correct Option: D

Ans: B

Explanation: If B is 18th from the right end in a line of 50 people, then there are 17 people to the right of B. The total number of people is 50. Therefore, the number of people to the left of B is 50 – 18 + 1 = 33. This means B’s position from the left end is 50-17 =33.

Ans: B

Explanation: Let’s analyze the given information:
1. C doesn’t have the most.
2. B has more milk than two other jars. This means B is at least in 3rd place.
3. F has more than only E. This means E is the jar with the least amount.
4. A has more than F but less than B. This means F < A < B.
5. The second highest and second lowest jars hold 33 liters and 17 liters, respectively.
6. All jars contain an odd number of liters.

Based on the information, we can deduce the order to be something like this: E < F < A < B < ... < ... and one of the last two jars is C. The second lowest is 17 liters and the second highest is 33 liters. F must be greater than 17. A is between F and B. And B has to be larger than A and we know the second highest is 33.

Let’s test the answer options:
A. 11 – Not possible because F < A and the second lowest is 17
B. 19 – Possible, as 17 (lowest) < F < 19 (A) < B < 33 (second highest)
C. 37 – Not possible, as A < B and second highest is 33
D. 13 – Not possible because F < A and second lowest is 17
E. 44 – Not possible, as A < B and the second highest is 33

Only B fits all the criteria: 17 < F < 19 < B < 33.

Correct Option: B

Ans: A

Explanation: Let’s break down the clues and deduce the solution step by step:

1. **Pink is not tallest:** This means Pink is not at the top of the height ranking.
2. **Blue > C:** The Blue lover is taller than C.
3. **Pink > Blue:** The Pink lover is taller than the Blue lover.
4. **Pink > F > Blue:** F is shorter than Pink but taller than Blue, and likes Red.
5. **F > B > Yellow:** B is shorter than F but taller than the Yellow lover.
6. **Yellow > E:** The Yellow lover is taller than E.
7. **A != Pink, Grey:** A does not like Pink or Grey.
8. **2nd Tallest = 150 cm:**
9. **3rd Shortest = 60 cm:**

Combining the height clues: Pink > F > B > Yellow > E. Also, Blue < F.
Since F likes Red, and A does not like Pink or Grey, A can’t be Red.

Now let’s order people in terms of Height from tallest to shortest.
We know Pink is not the tallest, and Pink > F.
We have F > B > Yellow > E and Pink > F > Blue.
Let’s consider possible height order:
Pink > F (Red) > B > Yellow > E and Blue
We know Yellow > E. Combining this with the information about the heights of the others
Also A cannot be Pink or Grey.
Since Pink is not the tallest, and we know 2nd tallest is 150cm, and 3rd shortest is 60 cm, and F is red
Pink is also not at the top.
Height possibilities
Pink (Blue or White)
150 cm
F (Red)
B
Yellow
E
60 cm
C (Blue) or A
Therefore, E has to like Grey.

Correct Option: A

Ans: A

Explanation: Let’s break down the clues and build the height and color order:

1. **F is shorter than Pink but taller than Blue:** This gives us Blue < F < Pink. Since F likes Red, we also have Blue < Red < Pink.
2. **B is taller than Yellow but shorter than F:** So, Yellow < B < F (Red). This extends our order to Yellow < B < Red < Pink
3. **Blue is taller than C:** C is shorter than Blue: C < Blue
4. **The person who likes Yellow is taller than E:** E < Yellow
5. **A does not like Pink or Grey.**

Combining all the pieces we have:
C < Blue < Red(F) < Pink and Yellow < B < Red(F) < Pink, also E < Yellow. So now the Height Order becomes, C/E < Yellow < B/F < Pink. Now, combine the rest together. We now have two possible orders for Height:
* C < E < Yellow < B < F < Pink
* E < C < Yellow < B < F < Pink

*F likes Red.
* The person who likes Blue is taller than C but shorter than Pink

Let’s deduce color information:

* We know C does not like Red
* A does not like Pink or Grey

Now the possibilities:
* Person who likes Pink is not the tallest.
* The second tallest person is 150 cm tall and the third shortest is 60 cm tall.

Let’s organize with Heights and Colors
Here’s a possible deduction:
1. **Pink**: Can’t be tallest, also not liked by A, Blue is shorter, F liked Red
2. **Red**: F likes this, and is not tallest or shortest
3. **Blue**: C is shorter
4. **Yellow**: B is taller
5. **A does not like Pink or Grey** and we also know A cannot be Pink.
6. Height Order: Since F likes Red. Let the order of heights be H1 > H2 > H3 > H4 > H5 > H6.
H2 = 150cm (second tallest), and H4 = 60 cm (third shortest)

Based on this, let’s look at the colors:
* Pink – Highest heights.
* Red – Has to be F, thus, its height is between Blue and Pink.
* Blue – C is shorter.
* Yellow – E is shorter.
* Grey or White – The colors left.
* A cannot like Grey or Pink.

Now consider the height constraints; we have Yellow < B < Red < Pink, and C < Blue. And we know that E < Yellow. So the only way is E likes Grey.

Therefore:

C/E < Yellow < B/F(Red) < Pink. A cannot be pink or grey. and is also not the tallest.

The final ordering is:
Height: C/E < Yellow < B < Red(F) < Pink and A=White.
Colors:
C – Blue,
E – Grey,
B – Yellow,
F – Red,
Pink- Height,
A – White,

Correct Option: A
