Option 1 : The data in statement 1 is sufficient to answer the question.

We need to find the number of boys who are shorter than Anika.

Statements:

1. There are 30 boys in her class of which 9 boys are taller than Anika.

There are 30 boys in Anika's class and 9 boys taller than her which implies 21 boys must be shorter than her. Thus, statement 1 is sufficient to answer the question.

2. When the students in Anika's class were ranked in descending order of their height, then from the top, Anika ranked 25th among all the students and 7th among the girls.

This implies that 24 students are taller than Anika and 6 girls are taller than her. It further implies that 18 boys are taller than Anika.

We cannot determine how many girls or boys are shorter than Anika as we don't know the total number of students in the class.

Hence, "the data in statement 1 is sufficient to answer the question".
