Ranking and Sequence Complete Topic discussion with Solved Examples for IBPS PO/SBI/RBI/RRB/CAT
13Reasoning Questions on Ranking, also known as Ordering, are asked in IBPS PO, IBPS Clerk, SBI PO, SBI Clerk, SSC CGL, SSC CHSL and other competitive exams. Ranking and Sequence is based on the arrangement of persons/objects in a particular order based on some specific characteristics. In this type of question, 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. Ranking questions in IBPS PO, IBPS Clerk, SBI PO, SBI Clerk, SSC CGL, SSC CHSL, and other competitive exams need you to arrange commodities or people in an ascending or descending order based on their age, weight, height, etc. These reasoning questions can often be very confusing and time taking, sometimes so much so that some of you might end up leaving ranking questions even after investing some time on them in such competitive exams.
