Question

Fifteen girls are standing in a straight line facing North. Sudha is standing eleventh from the right end. Radha is standing ninth from the left end. Meena is standing exactly between Sudha and Radha. How many girls are standing to the right of Meena?

• A. Eight
• B. Seven
• C. Nine
• D. Six
• E. Cannot be determined

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Eight

Total number of girls facing North $=15$

Position of Sudha $-=1^{th}$ from right end

Position of Radha $=9^{th}$ from left end$=(15-9+1{)}^{th}$ from the right end$=7^{th}$ from right end.

Since, Meena is standing exactly between Sudha and Radha,

So, Position of Meena $=$ Mid position between ${11}^{th}$ and $7^{th}$ from right end$=9^{th}$ from right end.

Therefore, $8$ girls are standing to the right of Meena.

Hence, A is the correct option.
