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