In a class of 44 students, Sneha is placed eighth from the top, whereas Manjeet is placed fifth from the bottom. Sitakshi is placed exactly in between the two. What is Manjeet's position from Sitakshi?

16th

The correct answer is Option (2) → 16th

Given:

• Total students = 44
• Sneha is 8th from the top
• Manjeet is 5th from the bottom

Step 1: Convert Manjeet’s position from the top

$\text{Manjeet from top} = 44 - 5 + 1 = 40$

So,

• Sneha = 8th from top
• Manjeet = 40th from top

Step 2: Position of Sitakshi (exactly in between)

$\text{Sitakshi’s position} = \frac{8 + 40}{2} = 24$

So, Sitakshi is 24th from the top.

Step 3: Manjeet’s position from Sitakshi

$40 - 24 = 16$
