Question

Ajay: "Prajita occupies 7th position from the top in Economics test in our class" Raju: "Yes, you are correct and Prajita also occupies 35th position from the bottom in the same test" Ajay and Raju study in the same class with Prajita and "N" others. Find the total number of students in the class, other than Prajita, Raju and Ajay.

Answer 1

The total number of students in the class, other than Prajita, Raju and Ajay would be 38

1) Given, Prajita is 7th from top.

Also, Prajita is 35th from bottom

2) Therefore, the total number of students in the Economics test of class would be N = T+B - 1 = 7+35-1 = 41

3) Hence, there are 41 total students in the class.

Three of them are Ajay, Raju and Prajita

Remaining, number of students would be 41-3  =  38
