In a class of 48 students Meena's rank is 18th from the bottom. What is her rank from the top?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → 31st
Meena is counted in both ranks, so rank from the top + rank from the bottom = total + 1.
Students below Meena: \(18-1=17\)
Students above Meena: \(48-17-1=30\), so her rank from the top is \(30+1=31\)
Tip: Use rank from the top \(=\) total \(-\) rank from the bottom \(+1\): \(48-18+1=31\). Forgetting the \(+1\) gives 30, which is also among the options.
