Question

During the routine medical check-up in school, Nita notices that she is both the $12th$ tallest and the $12th$ shortest student in her class. If no two students in the class have the same height, how many students are there in the class?

Answer 1

Total students = 11 students taller than Nita + 11 students shorter than Nita + Nita;

= 11 + 11 + 1

= 23 students
