Mohit is 8 ranks ahead of Hera. The rank of Hera is twenty sixth in a class of 42. What is Mohit's rank from last?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → 25th
Ranks are counted from the top, so being 8 ranks ahead means a rank 8 smaller. A rank from the top is turned into a rank from the last by rank from last = total − rank from top + 1, because both counts include the person.
Hera is 26th from the top, so Mohit is \(26-8=18\)th from the top
Mohit’s rank from the last \(=42-18+1=25\)th
