Question

If the rank of Reena in a group of 48 candidates is $11^{th}$ from the top, then what will be the rank of Reena from the bottom?

• A. 47
• B. 49
• C. 45
• D. 38

Hint:

To find the rank from the opposite end, use the formula: \(\text{Total} - \text{Given Rank} + 1\)

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Total number of candidates = 48 
Reena's position from the top = 11^th 
To find her position from the bottom, subtract her top rank from the total and add 1: \[ \text{Rank from bottom} = 48 - 11 + 1 = 38 \] So, Reena is 38^th from the bottom. 
Answer: \(\boxed{38}\)
