Question

Aman is 16${}^{th}$ from the left end in a row of boys and Vivek is 18${}^{th}$ from the right end. Gagan is 11${}^{th}$ from Aman towards the right and 3${}^{rd}$ from Vivek towards his right. How many boys are there in the row?

• A. 40
• B. 42
• C. 48
• D. 37
• E. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is E

None of these

Vivek is 18${}^{th}$ from the right end and Gagan is third to the right of Vivek. So, Gagan is 15${}^{th}$ from the right end.

Thus, there are 15 boys to the left of Aman; 10 boys between Aman and Gagan; and 14 boys to the right of Gagan.

So, number of boys in the row = 15+1+10+1+14 = 41
