Q1: Question: Gaurav ranks eighteenth from the top in a class. What is his rank from the last? Statements:
  1. There are 47 students in the class.
  2. Jatin who ranks 10th in the same class, ranks 38th from the last.

A I alone is sufficient while II alone is not sufficient

B II alone is sufficient while I alone is not sufficient

C Either I or II is sufficient

D Neither I nor II is sufficient

E Both I and II are sufficient

ANS:C - Either I or II is sufficient

Explanation: From I, we conclude that in a class of 47 students, Gaurav ranks 18th from the top and hence 30th from the last. From II, we conclude that there are 9 students above and 37 students below Jatin in rank. Thus, there are (9 + 1 + 37) = 47 students in the class. So, Gaurav who ranks 18th from the top, is 30th from the last.
