Malay Pratap is on 13th position from the starting and on 17th position from the end in his class. He is on 8th position from the starting and on 13th position from the end among the students who passed. How many students failed?
-
- 7
- 8
- 6
- Can not be determined
- None of these
Correct Option: C
Total boys = [ Malay’s place from starting + Malay’s place from end ] –1
Total boys = [13 + 17] – 1 = 29
Number of passed students = [ Malay’s place from starting + Malay’s place from end ] –1
Number of passed students = [8 + 13] – 1= 20
∴ Number of failed students = 29 – 20 = 9
