Mohan's rank in a class of 40 students is 27th, then what is his rank from the last?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → 14th
A student’s ranks from the two ends together count the whole class with that student counted twice, so rank from the top + rank from the bottom \(=\) total + 1.
Students above Mohan: \(27-1=26\)
Students below him: \(40-27=13\)
Rank from the last \(=13+1=14\), that is, \(40-27+1=14\)th
