There are 44 students in the class.
Sneha is 8th from the top, so her position from the top is 8.
Manjeet is 5th from the bottom.
Position from top = Total students - Position from bottom + 1
Manjeet's position from top = 44 - 5 + 1 = 40
Sitakshi is placed exactly in between Sneha and Manjeet.
Position of Sitakshi = 2Sneha’s position+Manjeet’s position
Position of Sitakshi = 28+40
Position of Sitakshi = 248=24
So Sitakshi is at position 24 from the top.
Manjeet's position from Sitakshi:
Manjeet is at position 40 and Sitakshi is at position 24.
Number of positions between them = 40 - 24 = 16
Therefore, Manjeet is 16th from Sitakshi.
The answer is Option 2: 16th.
