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?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → 54
The rank from the top counts Pulkit once and the rank from the bottom counts him again, so adding the two ranks counts him twice; 1 is taken away.
Total \(=18+37-1=54\)
