Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
1. Recognize the standard ranking formula to find the total number of people in a row/class when the position of one person is given from both ends: Total = (Position from Top) + (Position from Bottom) - 1. 2. Substitute the given values into the formula: H's position from the top is 16, and H's position from the bottom is 12. 3. Calculate the total number of students: Total = 16 + 12 - 1 = 28 - 1 = 27. Final Answer: Option B
