Question: 2

In a row of boys, Kapil is eighth from the right and Nikunj is twelfth from the left. When Kapil and Nikunj interchange positions, Nikunj becomes twenty first from the left. Which of the following will be Kapil's position from the right?

(A) 8^th

(B) 16^th

(D) 21^th

View Answer

Ans: C

Since Kapil and Nikunj interchange places, so Nikunj's new position ( 21^st from left) is the same as Kapil's earlier position (8^th from right).
So, number of boys in the row = (20 + 1 + 7) = 28.
Now, Kapil's new position is the same as Nikunj's earlier position i.e., 12^th from left.
Kapil's position from the right = (28 - 11) = 17^th.
