Answer Key with Explanations

  1. (D) 26 — Rank from bottom = total − rank from top + 1 = 40 − 15 + 1 = 26.

  2. (B) 29 — Total = 12 + 18 − 1 = 29.

  3. (A) 18 — Children between = 40 − (10 + 12) = 18.

  4. (B) 50 — All others are multiples of 7; 50 is not.

  5. (B) 30 — Rank from bottom = total − rank from top + 1 = 50 − 21 + 1 = 30.

  6. (C) 30 — Total = 20 + 11 − 1 = 30.

  7. (A) 15 — Children between = 50 − (15 + 20) = 15.

  8. (C) 20 — All others are perfect squares; 20 is not.

  9. (D) 22 — Rank from bottom = total − rank from top + 1 = 28 − 7 + 1 = 22.
