Ravi is 7 ranks ahead of Sumit in a class of 39. If Sumit's rank is 17th from the last. What is Ravi's rank from the start?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
Ravi's rank from last is 24th (17 + 7 = 24)
Total = Starting Rank + Last Rank - 1
39 = Starting Rank + 24 - 1
39 = Starting Rank + 23
Starting Rank = 39 - 23
16th
