Solution
The correct option is D 14th Since Arun and Suresh interchange places, so Arun’s new position (13th from left) is the same as Suresh’s earlier position (6th from right).
So, number of children in the queue = (12 + 1 + 5) = 18.
Now. Suresh’s new position is the same as Arun’s earlier position fifth from left.
Therefore Suresh’s position from the right = (18 – 4) = 14th.
