Kapil is 9 ranks ahead of Vijay in the class of 39 students. If Vijay's rank is 15th from the last, then what is Kapil's rank from the start?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → 16
In a class of \(n\) students, rank from the start + rank from the last = \(n+1\), because the student is counted in both.
Vijay from the start: \(39+1-15=25\)th
Kapil is 9 ranks ahead, that is, 9 places nearer the start: \(25-9=16\)th
