Question

Aman is five ranks ahead of Isha in a class of 30 students. If Isha's rank is 14^th from the last, then what is Aman's rank starting from Chetan at the 1^st position?

• A. 13^th
• B. 12^th
• C. 16^th
• D. 19^th

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

To determine Aman's rank, we need to understand the ranking system from both ends of the class.

1. We know that Isha's rank is 14^th from the last in a class of 30 students. This means her position from the top is calculated by subtracting her rank from the total number of students plus one: 30 - 14 + 1 = 17^th.
2. Aman is five ranks ahead of Isha. Therefore, Aman's rank from the top can be found by subtracting 5 from Isha’s rank from the top: 17 - 5 = 12^th.
3. Thus, Aman's rank is 12^th from the top, starting from Chetan at the 1^st position.

Therefore, the correct answer is 12^th.
