• B. 24th
• C. 25th
• D. 34th

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Divya's rank is 26th in the class of 42. \newline Bharati is 8 ranks ahead of her. Therefore, Bharati's rank from the top is: \[ \text{Bharati's rank from top} = 26 - 8 = 18 \, \text{(18th rank)} \] Students below Bharati are: \[ \text{Students below Bharati} = 42 - 18 = 24 \, \text{students.} \] Therefore, Bharati's rank from below is: \[ \text{Bharati's rank from below} = 24 + 1 = 25 \, \text{(25th rank)}. \] Answer is Option C. Thus, Bharti's rank from the last is 25th.
