In a class of 40 students, Ramesh is placed sixth from the top whereas Pankaj is placed thirteenth from the bottom. Kambish is placed exactly in between the two. What is Kambish's position from the top in the class?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

Total students in the class = 40

Ramesh is placed 6th from the top.


Pankaj is placed 13th from the bottom.

To find Pankaj's position from the top:

Position from top = Total students - Position from bottom + 1

Position from top = 40 - 13 + 1

Position from top = 28

Pankaj is placed 28th from the top.


Kambish is placed exactly in between Ramesh and Pankaj.

Ramesh's position from top = 6

Pankaj's position from top = 28

Kambish's position from top = 6+282\dfrac{6 + 28}{2}

Kambish's position from top = 342\dfrac{34}{2}

Kambish's position from top = 17

Therefore, Kambish is placed 17th from the top in the class.
