    Question

    In a class of 88 students, girls are 5/8 of total. Rahul is 16th from top, 12 girls ahead. Find number of boys after Rahul. ​​

    A.

    24

    B.

    29

    C.

    27

    D.

    25

    Correct option is B

    Given
    In a class of 88 students, girls are 5/8 of total. Rahul is 16th from top, 12 girls ahead.
    Solution
    Total students = 88.
    Girls = (5/8) of 88 = 55 → Boys = 88 − 55 = 33.
    Rahul is 16th from top, so 15 students are ahead of him; of these 15, 12 are girls → boys ahead = 15 − 12 = 3.
    Rahul is a boy, so boys after him:
    = Total boys − boys ahead − Rahul
    = 33 − 3 − 1
    = 29
    So, 29 boys after Rahul.
    Thus, corret option is (b).
