Solution
There are 44 students in the class.
Sneha is 8th from the top, so her position from the top is 8.
Manjeet is 5th from the bottom.
Position from top = Total students - Position from bottom + 1
Manjeet's position from top = 44 - 5 + 1 = 40
Sitakshi is placed exactly in between Sneha and Manjeet.
Position of Sitakshi =
Position of Sitakshi =
Position of Sitakshi =
So Sitakshi is at position 24 from the top.
Manjeet's position from Sitakshi:
Manjeet is at position 40 and Sitakshi is at position 24.
Number of positions between them = 40 - 24 = 16
Therefore, Manjeet is 16th from Sitakshi.
The answer is Option 2: 16th.
