Question

In a class of 45, where boys are twice that of girls,Reeta ranked 14^th from the top. If there are 6 girls ahead of Reeta, how many boys are after her?
1. 24
2. 23
3. 8
4. 25

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : 23

Total students = 45

Let girls = x

Boys = 2x

According to ques;

Boys + Girls = Total students

2x + x = 45

3x = 45

x = 15

Girls = 15

Boys = 30

Rank of Reeta from top = 14^th

6 girls ahead of Reeta means 7 boys are ahead of Reeta.

Boys after Reeta = 30 - 7 

= 23

Hence, "23" is the correct answer.
