Correct Answer: 44
Explanation:
Let us assume the number of boys in school be B.
Then number of girls in school = 2B
According to question,
B + 2B = 180
3B = 180
B = 180/3 = 60
Number of boys = 60
Number of girls = 120
Rupesh (a boy) ranked 34th from top and 18 girls are ahead of Rupesh.
Number of boys after the rank of Rupesh = 60 ? 16 = 44
Correct Answer: if only Assumption II is implicit
Explanation:
Army is being used as alternate course of action which otherwise is meant for war purpose only. Hence, Assumption I that works other than war will give enough experience to army, is not implicit. Secondly, 'rehabilitation is obligatory for Government' is the correct assumption.
