Question

In a row of 40 children, Q is 14th from the left end and there are sixteen children between Q and M. What is M's position from the right end of the row?

• A. 11th
• B. 10th
• C. 30th
• D. Data inadequate
• E. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is B 10th

There are 40 children in total. Q is 14th from the left end and there are 16 children between Q and M.

M's position from the left end,
= 14 + 16 + 1
= 31st
M's position from the right end,
= 40 - 31 + 1
= 9 + 1
= 10th
$\therefore$ M's position from the right end = 10th
