Chandrika is 8 ranks ahead of Jaya who ranks twenty-sixth in a class of 42. What is Chandrika's rank from the last?
Solution
✅ Correct Option: 2
Given information:
Total students = 42
Jaya's rank from top = 26th
Chandrika is 8 ranks ahead (better) than Jaya
Therefore:
Chandrika's rank from top = 26 - 8 = 18th
To find rank from last:
Rank from last = Total students - Rank from top + 1
= 42 - 18 + 1
= 25th
Therefore, Chandrika's rank from last is 25th.
