In a class of 52 students, Anjali's rank is thrice that of Anita. There are 4 students who have ranks worse than that of Anjali. Anita's rank in the class is:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → 16th
-
Total students = 52
-
Anjali's rank = 3 × Anita's rank
-
4 students have ranks worse than Anjali
If 4 students have ranks worse than Anjali, that means Anjali is at rank 48 (because there are only 52 students in total):
Anjali’s rank=52−4=48
Now use the relationship:
Anjali’s rank=3×Anita’s rank
48 = 3×Anita’s rank
Anita’s rank = 48/3 = 16
