Question 142

In a row of children facing North, Shweta is fifteenth from the left and Jyoti is third to the left of Shweta. Ram who is seventh to the right of Jyoti is fifth from the right end of the row. What is Shweta's position from the right end ?

Solution

Shweta's position from left end = 15th

Jyoti is third to the left of Shweta, => Jyoti's position from left end = 15 - 3 = 12th

Ram is seventh to the right of Jyoti, => Ram's position from left end = 12 + 7 = 19th

Ram's position from right end = 5th

=> Total number of children in the row = (19 + 5) - 1 = 23

$$\therefore$$ Shweta's position from right end = (23 - 15) + 1 = 9th

=> Ans - (D)
