Question

In a class, Samiksha ranks 12th from the top. Divya is 12 ranks ahead of Medha and 5 ranks behind Samiksha. Reshma who is 7th from the bottom is 29 ranks behind Medha. How many students are there in the class?

• A. 61
• B. 57
• C. 66
• D. 63
• E. 64

Hint:

"Ahead" in ranking usually means a lower numerical rank (closer to 1), and "behind" means a higher numerical rank.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Concept: For ranking problems, the total number of people is: \[ \text{Total} = (\text{Rank from Top}) + (\text{Rank from Bottom}) - 1 \]
Step 1: Find the ranks from the top. Let's re-verify the math: $58 + 7 = 65$, $65 - 1 = 64$. (Note: Based on standard logic, the answer is 64, which is option E).
