Which class get inherited when using nested class

class Admin::ApplicationController < ApplicationController
  def index
  end
end

Which class get inherited when I using nested class?

class Admin < ApplicationController
  class ApplicationController
  end
end

or 

class Admin 
  class ApplicationController < ApplicationController
  end
end

I think the second one is the winner, because what I understand Admin::ApplicationController < ApplicationController is get the ApplicationController inside Admin namespace and make it inherit from ApplicationController.

If the question is what is the equivalent of this line:

class Admin::ApplicationController < ApplicationController

Then your second assumption is correct, it is equivalent to:

class Admin 
  class ApplicationController < ApplicationController
  end
end

Few sidenotes though:

  1. Your current design exposes bad naming
  2. Why not make Admin a module instead of class?
  3. Prefer using the explicit form instead of nested one - you'll never get confused.
  4. See this thread about some difference in levels of nesting between two forms of class definitions.
