Question

In a queue, Vijay is 14^th from the front and Jayant is 17^th from the end, while Mallika is standing half-way between Vijay and Jayant. If Vijay always stands ahead of Jayant and there are 48 persons in the queue, how many persons are standing between Vijay and Mallika?

• A. 5
• B. 6
• C. 7
• D. 8
• E. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is D

8

Number of persons standing between Vijay and Jayant = 48 - (14+17) = 17.

Now, Mallika stands half-way between Vijay and Jayant.

So, number of persons standing between Vijay and Mallika = 8
