Solution

The correct option is C
19

Total no. of students = [Maria's place from the top + Maria's place from the bottom] -1

= [23 + 37] - 1 = 59

No. of students who passed

= [Maria's place from the top + Maria's place from the bottom] -1

= [18 + 23] - 1 = 40

$∴$ Number of failed students = 59 - 40 = 19
