IBPS PO Reasoning: Blood Relations and Ranking questions with solutions

Q1. Passage: Seven persons have different designations, i.e., MD, GM, Manager, PO and OA (Office Assistant) in a bank. The order of seniority is the same as given above, i.e., MD is the senior-most designation and OA is the junior-most designation. F is three posts senior to E but not senior to DGM. The number of persons senior to B is the same as the number of persons junior to D. C is junior to B but not just junior. A is just senior to G. Question: Who among the following is DGM?

1. G
2. D
3. A
4. B

Answer: B

The clues about seniority and relative positions allow a unique ranking of the seven persons. From the condition that the number of persons senior to B equals the number junior to D, and using the other placement clues, B is fixed at the DGM position. Therefore, B is DGM.
