• B. 44
• C. 37
• D. 43
• E. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is D 43

Girls are sitting in a row facing north. Rinky is 10th to the left of Pinky who is 21st from the right end.

If Minky who is 17th from left end is 4th to the right of Rinky,

Minky's position from the left = 17th
Minky's position from the right = 27th
$\therefore$ Total number of girls
= 17 + 27 - 1
= 44 - 1 = 43
