Question

In a class of 40 students, Sahil is ranked 12th from the top. If Manav is 5 ranks below Sahil, what is Manav’s rank from the bottom ?

This question was previously asked in
UPSSSC PET 2026 Question Paper (01-Nov-2026) (Shift-2)
The correct answer is

24th

Rank from top + rank from bottom = total + 1.

Sahil is 12th from the top, and being 5 ranks below him puts Manav at 12 + 5 = 17th from the top.

Manav's rank from the bottom = \( 40 - 17 + 1 = 24 \).

Check: 16 students are above Manav and 23 are below him, so 16 + 1 + 23 = 40, which equals the class strength.

Hence, 24th.
