Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Passed Boys: Hrishikesh.s rank from the top `=16^(th)`
Hrishikesh.s rank from the bottom `=29^(th)`. So, Number of boys who passed `=(16+29)-1=44`.

Number of boys who failed or not appeared `=(5+ 6)=11`
So, Total number of boys in the class `=(44+11)=55`
