Question

In a class of 120 students Ramu’s rank is 44th from the top and Nikki’s rank is 46th from the bottom. How many students are sitting in between Ramu and Nikki ?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of students ahead of Mahesh in rank = 42 - 16 = 26

So Mahesh's rank is 27th from the top

This question can be solved by formula also

Rank of a person from upper or left end = (Total number of persons in row) - (Rank of that person from lower or right end) - 1 Mahesh's rank from the top

= 42 - 16 + 1 = 27.

Answer 2

GiveN:

There are 120 students in the class.

Ramu's rank is 44th from the top.

Nikki's rank is 46th from the bottom.

Now let's imagine the situation:

--------Ramu(44)----Others-----Nikki(46)---------

From the top, there are 44 students along with Ramu. From the bottom, there are 46 students along with Nikki. So, we got:

44 + 46 = 90 students already.

Now it is asked for students sitting between Ramu and Nikki, this means excluding both of them. We are having 90 students already and the rest will be sitting between them.

No. of students between Nikki and Ramu:

120 - 90 = 30 Students (Ans)
