Question

In a class, among the students who passed, Amisha is 22${}^{nd}$ from the top and Sajal, who is 5 ranks below Amisha, is 34${}^{th}$ from the bottom. All the students from the class have appeared for the exam. If the ratio of the students who passed the exam to those who failed is 4:1 in that class, how many students are there in the class?

• A. 60
• B. 75
• C. 90
• D. Data Inadequate
• E. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is B

75

Amisha is 22${}^{nd}$ from the top and Sajal is 5 ranks below Amisha. So, Sajal is 27${}^{th}$ from the top. Also, Sajal is 34${}^{th}$ from the bottom.

$\therefore$No. of students passed = 26+1+33 = 60

Let the number of students passed and the no. of students failed be 4x and x respectively. Then, 4x = 60 or x = 15.

Hence, the no. of students in the class = 15+60 = 75
