Question: What is Mohit’s rank from the top in an annual appraisal of a FMCG Company comprising of 70 sales executives?
I. Mohit is 5 ranks below Rashmi from the top
II. Rashmi’s rank from the bottom is 44
III. Mohit is 5 ranks above Rashmi from the bottom
Note that none of the options have a single statement as the answer. So, there is no point evaluating individual statements alone.
Also, statements I and III contradict each other w.r.t. Mohit’s position. Hence, only I and III cannot provide the answer. Hence, options 1 and 3 can be eliminated.
Since it is known that there are 70 executives, statement II fixes Rashmi’s position as 44th from bottom (or 27th from top).
Now, statement I (or III) provides Mohit’s position w.r.t. Rashmi. Hence, Mohit’s rank from the top can be found.
Hence, only statement II and either statement I or III are sufficient to answer the question.
Hence, option (d).
