C. 33
D. 19

Explanation

To find the total number of students in Ravi's class, we can follow these steps:

1. **Identify Ravi's position from both ends**: Ravi is 17th from the left end and also 17th from the right end of the row.

2. **Use the formula to calculate total students**: The total number of students in a row can be calculated using the formula:
\[ \text{Total Students} = (\text{Rank from Left} + \text{Rank from Right} - 1) \]
Here, the "-1" accounts for Ravi himself, as he is counted in both rankings.

3. **Plug in the values**:
\[ \text{Total Students} = (17 + 17 - 1) \]

4. **Perform the calculation**:
\[ \text{Total Students} = 34 - 1 = 33 \]

5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the total number of students in Ravi's class is 33.
