    Question

    There are 48 students in a class. The number of girls is half of the number of boys. If Rashmi is a girl whose rank is 15th from the top and five girls have better ranks than Rashmi, then Rashmi’s rank is better than how many boys?

    A.

    26

    B.

    20

    C.

    30

    D.

    23

    Correct option is D

    Given:

    total number of student =48

    Rashmi rank is 15th from top.

    in top 15th there are five girl.

    Solution:

    let number of boys =2x

    number of girls =x

    total number of student = 2x+x =48

    3x=48

    x=16

    total number of boys = 32

     total number of girls = 16 

    according to question -

     number of student in top 15rank =15

    number of girls in top 15 = 5+rasmi

    so number of boys in top 15=15-6=9

    number of boys below rank = total boys - number of boys in top15

                                               =32-9

                                             =23

    correct answer =23
