Ahsan was both 5th highest and 5th lowest in a race. How many people participated in the race?
Answer: 9
Explanation
If Ahsan was both 5th highest and 5th lowest:
There are 4 people who performed better than Ahsan.
There are 4 people who performed worse than Ahsan.
Total participants = 4 (better) + Ahsan + 4 (worse)
= 4 + 1 + 4
= 9
