In a class of 180, where girls are twice the number of boys, Ram [a boy] ranked 34th from the top. If there are 18 girls ahead of Ram, how many boys are there after him in rank? Correct Answer 44

Total number of students = 180.

Given, girls are twice the number of boys.

Thus, no. of girls in class = 120.

No. of boys in class = 60.

Ram’s rank from top is 34 and 18 girls are ahead of Ram.

Therefore, no. of boys up to 34th rank from top = 34 – 18 = 16.

Hence, number of boys after the rank of Ram = 60 – 16 = 44.
