Question

Raman is $7$ ranks ahead of Suman in a class of $39$. If Suman's rank is seventeenth from the last. Then what is Raman's rank from the start?

• A. ${14}^{th}$
• B. ${15}^{th}$
• C. ${16}^{th}$
• D. ${17}^{th}$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

${16}^{th}$

Suman is ${17}^{th}$ from the last and Raman is $7$ ranks ahead of Suman. So Raman is ${24}^{th}$ from the last.
$\therefore$ Raman's rank from the start is $39+1-24$ i.e., ${16}^{th}$

option C
