In a class of 40 students, Anjali's rank is thrice that of Anita. There are 4 students who have ranks worse than that of Anjali. Anita's rank in the class is:

9th

10th

18th

12th

Correct Option: 4

Let Anita's rank be

x

. Then Anjali's rank is

3x

Since there are 4 students with ranks worse than Anjali, we have

3x + 4 \leq 40

This simplifies to

3x \leq 36

, leading to

x \leq 12

Thus, Anita's rank can be at most 12.

x = 12

, then Anjali's rank would be

36

, which satisfies the condition.

Therefore, Anita's rank in the class is

12
