In a class, Ajay is 7th from the bottom. Sham is 13 ranks above Ajay. If Sham is 10th from the top, how many students are there in the class?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → 29
Find Sham’s rank from the bottom first. Then use total = rank from the top + rank from the bottom − 1.
Ajay is 7th from the bottom
Sham is 13 ranks above Ajay, so Sham is \(7+13=20\)th from the bottom
Sham is 10th from the top
Total students \(=10+20-1=29\)
