To find out the total number of students in the class, we need to add the positions of Rakesh from the top and from the bottom and then subtract one from the sum. Let's solve the problem step by step.

Given:
Rakesh's position from the top = 9th
Rakesh's position from the bottom = 38th

Calculating the total number of students in the class:
1. Add the position of Rakesh from the top and from the bottom:
9 + 38 = 47

2. Subtract 1 from the sum obtained in the previous step:
47 - 1 = 46

Therefore, the total number of students in the class is 46.

Explanation:
- The position of Rakesh from the top represents the number of students ranked above him.
- The position of Rakesh from the bottom represents the number of students ranked below him.
- To find the total number of students, we need to consider both the students ranked above and below Rakesh.
- Adding the positions of Rakesh from the top and from the bottom gives us the sum of students both above and below Rakesh.
- Since Rakesh is counted twice in the sum, we subtract 1 to get the total number of students in the class.

Answer: The correct answer is option C) 46.
