Question: 1

In a row of girls, Sita and Monika occupy the ninth place from the right end and tenth place from the left end, respectively. If they interchange their places, Sita and Monika occupy seventeenth place from the right and eighteenth place from the left, respectively. How many girls are there in the row?

(A) 24

(B) 25

(C) 26

(D) 27

Ans: C

Since Sita and Monika exchange places.

So Sita's new position is the same as Monika's earlier position.
This position is 17th from the right and 10th from the left.
∴ Number of girls in the row = (16 + 1 + 9) = 26.

Number of students behind Rohan in rank = (31 - 7) = 24.

Number of students behind Suresh in rank = (31 - 11) = 20.
So, Suresh is 21st from the bottom.

This position is 14th from the left (Shamala's new position) and 17th from the right (Meena's earlier position).
∴ Number of girls in the row = (13 + 1 + 16) = 30.
