Ajai ranks seventeenth in a class of thirty one. What is his rank from the last ?

  • A.13
  • B.14
  • C.15
  • D.16

Answer: C

Ajai's rank from the last is 15. If he ranks seventeenth from the top in a class of thirty one, there are sixteen students above him, so the number below him is the total minus his rank:

\[ 31 - 17 = 14 \]

That gives fourteen students below him, and his rank from the last is one more than that, since he himself counts:

\[ 14 + 1 = 15 \]

Option C is correct. Option B gives the number of students below him, without counting him.
