event of tie.
DENSE_RANK():-

Answer / satya
ROLLUP is used to Calculate The subtotals And Grand Total
Based On The Groupby Function.
This ROLLUP is used after the GROUP BY function.
CUBE generates a result set that represents aggregates for
all combinations of values in the selected columns.
RANK Function Is Used To Give The Ranks,But It miss Some
Ranks When Both Are Getting Same Ranks.
DENSE_RANK function Won't Give The Gaps Between The Ranks.
