Rajni ranked 9th from the top and 38th from the bottom in a class. How many students are there in the class?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → 46
Counting from the top and counting from the bottom both include Rajni, so adding the two ranks counts her twice.
Students above her \(=8\), students below her \(=37\)
Total \(=8+1+37=46\), the same as \(9+38-1=46\)
