Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Solution:

Total students = 24

Step 1: Convert positions to same reference (from top)

  • Kamal is 8th from bottom
    From top = 24 − 8 + 1 = 17th

  • Sonu is 9th from top

Step 2: Find Pavan’s position

Pavan is exactly between Kamal (17th) and Sonu (9th)

Middle position = (17+9)/2 = 26/2 = 13

Pavan is at 13th position from top

Step 3: Find Kamal’s position from Pavan

  • Kamal = 17th

  • Pavan = 13th

Difference = 17 − 13 = 4

Final Answer: Kamal is 4 positions below Pavan
