<h2 id="content-id-11158-0">Order and Ranking Meaning</h2>

Order and Ranking is an important topic of the Logical Reasoning section. In this topic, questions related to the position or rank of a person or an object are asked with respect to the left - to - right or top - to - bottom arrangement or vice-versa. In this chapter, we will learn all the types of questions that are asked in the exam. We will see how learning some short tricks and rules can fetch more marks in exams in lesser time. The base of Order and Ranking questions revolves around the arrangement and positioning/ranking of persons/objects.

<h2 id="content-id-11158-1">Symbols and Notations in Order and Raking</h2>

While solving problems under this section, the use of the following symbols is required:

<h3>1. Greater / Heavier / Taller / Higher / More (>)</h3>

A > B means 
A is greater/heavier/taller/higher/more than B.

<h3>2. Smaller / Lighter / Shorter / Lower / Less (<)</h3>

A 
A is smaller/lighter/shorter/lower/less than B.

<h3>3. Equal (=)</h3>

A = B means 
A is equal to B.

<h2 id="content-id-11158-4">Solutions of Order and Ranking Practice Questions</h2>

Solution for (Q:1 - Q:2): The correct order according to the descending order of marks is: T > S (88 marks) > U > Q > R > P

Q:1 (4) Clearly, if Q got 66 marks and S obtained 88 marks then among the given marks in options only 80 marks will be the possible marks that U can obtain.

Q:2 (3)

Solution for (Q:3 - Q:4) B > A > D > C > E/F > F/E

Q:3 (1) According to the Question, B > A > D (175m) > C > F (150m) > E

Q:4 (3)

Solution for (Q:5 - Q:7): The correct sequence in descending order is: 
Anshika (87kg) > Anamika > Anjali (70 kg) > Anika > Alka (65 kg).

Q:5 (5) Clearly, Anjali’s weight is 70 kg and Anika weight should be more than 65 kg and less than 70 kg. The Sum of the weight will be more than 135 kg and less than 140 kg. No options satisfy this condition.

Q:6 (2) Clearly, The lowest weight is 65 kg and the thirdhighest person’s weight is 70 kg. Therefore the sum will be more than (65 + 70) = 135 kg.

Q:7 (1)

Solution for (Q:8 - Q:9) Final arrangement: N > Q > R > P > M

Q:8 (3)

Q:9 (5)

Solution for (Q:10 - Q:11): Rope 3 > Rope 5 > Rope 4/Rope 6 > Rope 6/Rope 4 > Rope 2 > Rope 1

Q:10 (3)

Q:11 (5) From the given order we can clearly say that Rope 6 is longer than Rope 2 hence the length of Rope 6 must be longer than Rope 2. The length of Rope 6 is 12m.
