Pankaj is 21st from the top in a class. Rakesh is seven ranks below Pankaj and is 19th from the bottom. How many students are there in the class?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → 46
Find Rakesh’s rank from the top first. Then use total = rank from the top + rank from the bottom − 1.
Rakesh is seven ranks below Pankaj: \(21+7=28\)th from the top
Rakesh is 19th from the bottom
Students in the class \(=28+19-1=46\)
