Question

Sanjeev ranks seventh from the top and twenty eight from the bottom in a class.how many students are there in the class

Answer 1

There are 7+28-1 = 34 students in the class

Answer 2

Total number of students in the class is 34.

- From the top Sanjeev is 7th.

So,there are 7 students including Sanjeev from the first rank.

- From the bottom Sanjeev is 28th.So, there are 28 students including Sanjeev from the last rank.

- Total students = (7+28) = 35

Now,from counting from two ends,Sanjeev is counted twice.

So,the real number of students = (35-1) = 34 (answer)
