Sonam is 8 ranks ahead of Soniya who ranks twenty-sixth in a class of 45. What is Sonam's rank from the last?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → 28
Being ranks ahead means a smaller rank number. A rank from the top and a rank from the last add up to the class size + 1, because the student is counted in both counts.
Soniya is 26th; Sonam is 8 ranks ahead, so Sonam is \(26-8=18\)th from the top
Sonam’s rank from the last \(=45+1-18=28\)
