The logic to find the total number of students when the rank from both top/left and bottom/right is given is:

Total number of students = (Rank from Top) + (Rank from Bottom) - 1

Given:

  • Piyush's rank from the top = 24th
  • Piyush's rank from the bottom = 55th

Applying the formula:

Total number of students = 24 + 55 - 1

Total number of students = 79 - 1

Total number of students = 78

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".
