Correct Answer: 70


Solution : Given:
Ena's rank from the top = 18 and Ena's rank from the bottom = 39

Total number of students who passed the examination = Position of Ena from the top + Position of Ena from the bottom – 1
= 18 + 39 – 1 = 56

So, the number of students who passed the examination = 56
The number of students who did not appear in the examination = 10
The number of students who failed in the examination = 4

Total number of students in the class = Number of students who passed + Number of students who failed + Number of students who didn't appear
= 56 + 10 + 4 = 70

Therefore, there are a total of 70 students in the class. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
