1st, 2nd,....... 13th (Ravi)
........................................26th from bottom...............................
He is 26th from bottom which is equivalent to 13th from top.
If we consider from bottom, there are 12 persons ahead of him, so 26+12 = 38
Thus 38 passed in exam.
Given, 6 failed(who have not been included in the list)
Hence total number of students = 38+6 = 44
Hope it helps.
