સમજૂતી

Rank from top = total − rank from bottom + 1 = 23 for Joginder; Nitin is 7 ahead, so 16th.

  • (A) ખોટો

    Wrong: this ignores that Joginder is 23rd from the top.

  • (B) ખોટો

    Wrong: this places Nitin 8 ranks ahead, not 7.

  • (C) ખોટો

    Wrong: this does not match 23 − 7.

  • (D) સાચો

    Correct: Joginder from the top = 39 − 17 + 1 = 23; Nitin = 23 − 7 = 16th.
