Question

In a class of 11 students, each scored differently. V's rank from the bottom is 6th, while D's rank from the top is 4th. T's rank from the top is exactly between the ranks of V and D. What is T's rank from the bottom?

• A. 5th
• B. 7th
• C. 8th
• D. 9th

Answer 1

Answer:

B. 7th

T's rank from the bottom is 7th.

1. Find V's rank from the top:

   • Total students = 11

   • V's rank from the bottom = 6th

   • V's rank from the top = $\text{Total} - \text{Rank from bottom} + 1 = 11 - 6 + 1 = \mathbf{6\text{th}}$

2. Find T's rank from the top:

   • D's rank from the top = 4th

   • V's rank from the top = 6th

   • Since T is exactly between D (4th) and V (6th), T's rank from the top is 5th.

3. Calculate T's rank from the bottom:

   • T's rank from the bottom = $\text{Total} - \text{Rank from top} + 1 = 11 - 5 + 1 = \mathbf{7\text{th}}$
