Rajni ranked 9th from the top and 38th from the bottom in a class. How many students are there in the class?

46

The correct answer is Option (1) → 46

TOTAL NUMBER OF STUDENTS IN A ROW  = POSITION FROM TOP + POSITION FROM BOTTOM - 1

AS

Rajni ranked from the top = 9th

Rajni ranked from the bottom   = 38th

THEREFORE

TOTAL = 9 + 38 - 1

          = 47 - 1

          = 46
