Question

Harshal is standing at the centre of a row of boys. Ujwal is eighth to the left of Harshal, Shubham is standing twenty first to the right of Ujwal, but he is thirteenth to the left of Kishore. Find the total number of boys standing in a row.

• A. $27$
• B. $35$
• C. $52$
• D. $53$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $53$

As per the given data, Shubham is ${21}^{st}$ to the right of Ujwal and he is ${13}^{th}$ to the left of Kishore.

So, there are $(21-8)+13=26$ boys to the left of Harshal.

$\because$ Harshal is in the centre of a row

So, there will be $26$ boys to the left of Harshal.

Thus, total no. of boys $=26+1+26=53$.

Hence, option D is correct.
