Solution
The correct option is D 55
Ajay is ranked sixteenth from the top. That means there are 15 students above Sam.
Sam is 29th from the bottom. That means there are 28 students below him.
So total students 15+Ajay+28= 44 students who passed the exam
Six boys did not participate and 5 failed in the exam.
Therefore, total no students
44+5+6=55 students
