Neeta’s position from Top = 22nd

⇒Passed Students above Neeta = 21

Kalyan’s 34th from bottom ⇒ Passed Students below Kalyan = 33

Passed Students between Neeta and Kalyan = 4

⇒ Total passed students = 21 + 1 + 4 + 1 + 33 = 60

Ratio between passed & failed = 4 : 1

⇒ 4x = 60

⇒ x = 15

? Total students = 4x + x = 5x

⇒ Total students = 5 × 15 = 75
