Question

Ravi and Kishore were ranked 13th and 14th respectively in the class. If there are a total of 39 students in the class, then which of the two will be at the bottom?
1. 26th and 25th
2. 27th and 26th
3. 29th and 28th
4. 27th and 28th

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : 27th and 26th

Total number of students in the class = 39

Rank of Ravi from the top = 13th

Total number of students = Rank of a person from top + Rank of the same person from bottom - 1

So, his rank from the bottom = (39 - 13) + 1

= 27th

Rank of Kishor from the top = 14th

So, his rank from the bottom = (39 - 14) + 1

= 26th 

Hence, ‘27th and 26th’ is the correct answer.
