In a class Vidya ranks 7th from the top. Divya is 7 ranks ahead of Medha and 3 ranks
behind Vidya. Sushma who is 4th from the
bottom is 32 ranks behind Medha. How many
students are there in the class?

52 students

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question above, we have the following information:

a) Vidya ranks 7th from the top.

Mathematically,

Vidya = 7th student

b) Divya 3 ranks behind Vidya.

Divya = Vidya + 3

Hence, Mathematically:

Divya = 7 + 3 = 10

Divya = 10th student

c) Also, Divya is 7 ranks ahead of Medha.

Mathematically,

Medha = 10 + 7= 17

Medha= 17th student

d)Sushma is 32 ranks behind Medha

Mathematically,

Sushma = Medha + 32

= 17 + 32 = 49

Sushma is the 49th student

Therefore, since, Sushma is 4th from the bottom, total number of students is:

49 + 3 = 52 students
