Options :

Answer : D

Explanation

From the left side, if we will calculate till the rank of Snigdha, then it will be 20 students. Similarly from right hand side, the total number of students till Snigdha will also be 20. Now adding both and subtracting 1 we will get 20 + 20 - 1 = 39.

Earlier the rank of Radhika was 12 from the right hand side. Now at the same position the rank of Hari is 22 from the left hand side. Hence adding both side students and eliminating the repeated person, the total number of students will be

= 22 + 12 - 1

= 33

The rank of that auto from the last = (40 - 27) + 1 = 14

The rank of that car from 1^st will be = (30 - 13) + 1 = 28

Now the difference of rank is = 28 - 14 = 14
