In a class of 40 students, Prateek is placed eighth from the top, whereas Sonu is placed thirteenth from the bottom. Ashish is placed exactly between the two. What is Sonu's position from Ashish?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

Prateek is 8th from the top. Sonu is 13th from the bottom, so from the top he is 40−13+1=2840 - 13 + 1 = 28th.

Ashish sits midway: 8+282=18\dfrac{8 + 28}{2} = 18th from the top.

Sonu's distance from Ashish =28−18=10= 28 - 18 = 10 places.
