Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Step 1: Calculate Geeta's rank from the top using the formula: (Total students - Rank from end + 1).
Geeta's rank = (59 - 27 + 1) = 33rd rank.
Step 2: Calculate Sita's rank.
Since Sita is 17 ranks ahead of Geeta, subtract 17 from Geeta's rank.
Sita's rank = 33 - 17 = 16th rank.
Final Answer: Option 4
