Question

In a row of boys, Mukesh is $8^{th}$ from the right and Suresh is also $8^{th}$ from the left. When Mukesh and Suresh interchange their positions, Suresh become ${16}^{th}$ from the left.
What will be Mukesh's new position from the right?

• A. $15$
• B. $16$
• C. $17$
• D. $18$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $16$

Mukesh is $8^{th}$ from right and Suresh is $8^{th}$ from left.

After interchanging their positions Suresh becomes ${16}^{th}$ from left and $8^{th}$ from right.

So, there are total $23$ boys.

Now, Mukesh is $8^{th}$ from left and thus he is ${16}^{th}$ from right.

Hence, option B is correct.
