Question

In a row of 40 girls, when Komal was shifted to her left by 4 places her number from the left end of the row became 10. What was the place of Swati from the right end of the row if Swati was three places to the right of Komal's original position?

• A. 20
• B. 23
• C. 25
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is D

None of these

On shifting 4 places to the left, Komal is 10${}^{th}$ from the left end of the row. Thus, Komal's original position was 14${}^{th}$ from the left end.

Swati is 3 places to the right of Komal's original position.

Clearly, Swati is 17${}^{th}$ from the left end.

Number of girls to the right of Swati = 40-17 = 23

$\therefore$Swati is 24${}^{th}$ from the right end of the row.
