Question

Anisha ranked 6th in a class of 48 students from the top. What is her rank from the bottom in the class?

Answer 1

Answer:

43rd

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 48 students in the class and Anisha is ranked 6th from the top.

Thus, there are 5 students above Anisha.

Excluding Anisha, there are 48 - 1 = 47 students and out of them, 5 are ahead of here. So there are 47 - 5 = 42 people below here.

So her rank from the bottom is 43rd.

In general, if there are n students in a class and her ranks from the top and the bottom are x and y. Then,

$x + y = n + 1$
