• A. 10th
• B. 11th
• C. 9th
• D. 12th

Hint:

When calculating a person's rank from the bottom, remember the formula: \[ \text{Rank from bottom} = \text{Total students} -\text{Rank from top} + 1. \] This is a quick way to switch between ranks from top and bottom.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Understanding the Problem 
Alisha’s rank from the top is 15th. 
Manav is 4 ranks above Alisha, so Manav’s rank from the top is: \[ \text{Manav's rank from top} = 15 -4 = 11. \] 
Step 2: Manav’s Rank from the Bottom 
In a class of 20 students, the rank from the bottom is related to the rank from the top by the formula: \[ \text{Rank from bottom} = \text{Total students} -\text{Rank from top} + 1. \] 
Substituting the values: \[ \text{Rank from bottom} = 20 -11 + 1 = 10. \] 
Step 3: Final Answer 
Therefore, Manav’s rank from the bottom is 10th. Final Answer: Manav's rank from the bottom is (a) 10th.
