Q: Question: Gautam is at eighteen place in a class. From the end what is his rank? Statement: I. There are 47 students in the class. II. Jegan who is 10th place in the same class. He is at 38th place from the end.
  • A. Statement 1 alone is sufficient.
  • B. Both statement are needed simultaneously.
  • C. Statement 2 alone is sufficient.
  • D. Either statement 1 or II is sufficient.
Correct Answer: Option D - I. There are 47 students in a class. Gautam is ranked 18th in the same class. So Gautam's place from the end = 47 – 17 = 30th. II. Jegan who is 10th in the same class is 38th from the end. If Gautam is in the 18th position in the same class, then from the end, his rank (place) = (38 + 10)–18 = 30th place/rank Hence, either statement I or statement II is sufficient to answer the question.
