Q. In a class of 10 girls and 20 boys, Neha ranks 4th among girls and 18th in the class. What is Neha's position among boys?
β
Correct Answer: (C)
15th
Explanation: Neha is 18th in the overall class. She is 4th among girls, which means there are 3 girls ahead of her. Therefore, the remaining students ahead of her are boys = 17 (students ahead in class) − 3 (girls ahead) = 14 boys. Hence, Neha's position among boys is 15th (14 boys ahead of her + Neha herself).
