Question

In a row of boys, A is 15${}^{th}$ from the left and B is 4${}^{th}$ from the right. There are three boys between A and B. C is just left of A. What is C's position from the right?

• A. 9^th
• B. 10^th
• C. 12^th
• D. 13^th
• E. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A

9^th

Number of boys in the row = 15+4+3 = 22

C is just left of A. So, C is 14${}^{th}$ from the left end.

Number of boys to the right of C = 22-14 = 8

So, C is 9${}^{th}$ from the right end of the row.
