Sonam ranks 18th from the top and 15th from the bottom in certain examinations. Determine how many students appeared for the examinations?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → 32
A rank from the top counts the person once, and so does the rank from the bottom. So rank from the top + rank from the bottom = total + 1, because Sonam is counted twice.
Total \(=18+15-1=32\) students
