1) In a row of boys, Amit is ranked 12th from the top and Ratan is 15th from the bottom.
(It implies that there are 11 people above Amit and 14 people below Ratan in rank)
2) They interchange their position. Ratan now becomes 37th from the bottom.
(It implies that there are 36 people below Ratan and 11 above him (as he is on the same position where Amit was), which means there are 48 people (36 + 11 + 1) in total)
Hence, 48 is the correct answer.
