Question

15 students failed in a class of 52. After removing the names of failed students, a merit order list has been prepared in which the position of Ramesh is 22nd from the top. What is his position from the bottom? 

(a) 18^th 

(b) 17^th 

(c) 16^th 

(d) 15^th 

Answer 1

Correct option (c) 16^th

Explanation:

15 students failed in a class of 52. 

Hence, number of students that passed = 52 – 15 = 37

In the list of passed students, position of Ramesh is 22^nd from the top. 

So, his position from the bottom = (37 + 1) – 22 = 38 – 22 = 16^th
