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 = 17thSonu 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
