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.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Total students = 88
Girls = 5/8×88=55
Boys = 88 − 55 = 33
Rahul is 16th from top → 15 ahead
Girls ahead = 12
So boys ahead = 15 − 12 = 3
Total boys = 33
Boys ahead = 3
Boys after = 33 – (3-1) = 29
Hence, the correct answer is option 2.
