Amit ranks \(8^{\text {th}}\) from the top and \(25^{\text {th}}\) from the bottom in a class. How many students are there in the class?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → 32
Counting from the top and from the bottom, Amit is counted twice, once in each rank, so 1 is taken away.
Students above Amit: 7; students below Amit: 24
Total \(=8+25-1=32\) (that is, \(7+1+24\))
