To find the total number of boys, we calculate: 15 (A's position from the left) + 5 (students between A and B) + 8 (B's position from the right) - 2 = 26 boys in the row.

Yash, being in the middle, occupies (15 + (60 - 20 + 1))/2 = 20th position from the front.

Mohan's position from the left is calculated as total boys minus his position from the right plus one: 50 - 7 + 1 = 44th position from the left.

Sunil's position from the start is 40 - 15 + 1 = 26. Radha, being 9 ranks ahead, is at 26 - 9 = 17th from the start.

If there are 5 between Aamir and Salman, 8 between Salman and Sharukh, 3 ahead of Sharukh, and 21 behind Aamir, the minimum number is 5 + 8 + 3 + 21 + 1 (counting all) = 38.

Kamal was initially at 14 (from original position calculation), so Sunil is originally 17th. From right: 40 - 17 + 1 = 24th.

In this scenario, Rajiv ranks fifteenth from the top and forty-eighth from the bottom. The sum of his positions from both ends plus one (to count himself) gives the total number of students: 15 (top) + 48 (bottom) - 1 = 62 students in the class.

Adding Arun’s ranks from both ends gives 14 + 26 - 1 = 39, indicating there are 39 students in the class.

Aruna's position is 16, Babita is 4 to the right, making Babita's position 20. Sunaina is 8 + 5 = 21 from the left. The total girls are (16 + 21 - 1) = 36.

For the given question regarding Suraj's position, statement 1 gives a rank of 36 from the bottom, while statement 2 offers the same from top ranks. Either statement independently suffices to solve.
