In a queue of 23 persons waiting at a bank counter, there are 9 persons between Rajeev and Heena. Prachi is exactly in the middle of Rajeev and Heena. Tushar is $$3^{rd}$$ from the front and there are five persons between Heena and Tushar. What is Prachi's position from the back?
We are given that there are 9 people between Rajeev and Heena.
R _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ H
Next, we are given that Prachi is exactly between Rajeev and Heena.
R _ _ _ _ P _ _ _ _ H
We are given that Tushar is 3rd from the start
T 2 1
We are given that there are five people between Rushar and Heena.
Now, Tushar cannot be to the left of Heena because that would mean that the arrangement:
R _ _ _ T P _ _ _ _ H
In which case, he cannot be the third from the start
Therefore, he must be standing to the right of Heena
R _ _ _ _ P _ _ _ _ H _ _ _ _ _ T _ _
Making Heena's position from the start to 9th and Prachi's position to be 14th
Since there are 23 people in the line, Prachi's position from the back would be 23-14+1 = 10th
Therefore, Option C is the correct answer.
