Understanding Sita's Rank
To determine Sita’s rank from the bottom of the line, we can use her position from the top.
Given Information:
- Total number of students: 15
- Sita's position from the top: 5th
Calculating Sita's Rank from the Bottom:
To find Sita's rank from the bottom, we can use the following formula:
- Rank from bottom = Total students - Rank from top + 1
Now, substituting the values:
- Rank from bottom = 15 - 5 + 1
Step-by-Step Calculation:
- First, subtract Sita's rank from the total number of students:
- 15 - 5 = 10
- Next, add 1 to this result:
- 10 + 1 = 11
Thus, Sita's rank from the bottom is 11th.
Conclusion:
The correct answer is option 'A' (11th), not 'B' (10th). Therefore, the conclusion is:
- Sita is ranked 11th from the bottom in a line of 15 students.
This calculation helps clarify how positional rankings work in a group, ensuring we can accurately assess any student's position based on their rank from the top or bottom.

For an odd number of students, the middle rank is found by dividing the total number of students by 2 and rounding up.
Middle position = (11 ÷ 2) + 1 = 6th student.
