Explanation

Given:

Total strength of students = 45

Rank of a boy = 20th from one end.

∴ Rank from another end will be 45 - 20 + 1 = 26th

ACCORDING TO QUESTION :

Two boys joined, then total strength now = 47

Then, the rank dropped by one. This means one boy is ahead of him and another one is in behind.

His new rank from the end will be 26th + 1 = 27th

Hence, the rank of the boy is 27th.
