Question

Accepted Answer

1. **Let Anita's rank be $$x$$:**  
   - Anjali’s rank is thrice Anita’s rank, i.e., $$3x$$.

2. **Determine Anjali's position:**  
   - There are 4 students ranked worse than Anjali. Therefore, Anjali’s rank is $$40 - 4 = 36$$.

3. **Solve for Anita's rank ($$x$$):**  
   - Since $$3x = 36$$, divide both sides by 3:  
     $$
     x = \frac{36}{3} = 12.
     $$

Thus, Anita’s rank in the class is **12th**.
