Correct Answer: 30th


Solution : Given:
In a class of 42 students, Swati's rank is 19th from the bottom. Purshottam is 6 ranks below Swati.

From the top, Swati's position = (Total number of persons – Swati's rank from the bottom) + 1
= (42 – 19) + 1 = 23 + 1 = 24
Therefore, Purshottam's rank from the top = (24 + 6) = 30

So, Purshottam's rank is 30th from the top. Hence, the first option is correct.
