Q
Q: In a class of students, if X is ranked 5th from the top and 10th from the bottom, how many students are there in the class?
Solution: If X is 5th from the top and 10th from the bottom, the total number of students is 5 + 10 - 1 = 14.
Steps: 5
Step 1: Understand that X is ranked 5th from the top. This means there are 4 students above X.
Step 2: Understand that X is ranked 10th from the bottom. This means there are 9 students below X.
Step 3: To find the total number of students, add the number of students above X (4) to the number of students below X (9) and then add 1 for X himself.
