Pulkit is ranked 18th from the top in his class. When counted from the bottom, he is ranked 37th. What is the total number of students in the class?

54

The correct answer is Option (4) → 54

We can use the formula:

$\text{Total students} = \text{Rank from top} + \text{Rank from bottom} – 1$

Given:

• Rank from top = 18
• Rank from bottom = 37

$\text{Total students} = 18 + 37 - 1 = 54$
