Question

In a row of girls, Kamya is fifth from the left and Preeti is sixth from the right. When they exchange their positions, then Kamya becomes thirteenth from the left. What will be Preeti's position from the right?

• A. $7^{th}$
• B. ${11}^{th}$
• C. ${14}^{th}$
• D. ${18}^{th}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C

${14}^{th}$

Kamya's new position is ${13}^{th}$ from left. But it is the same as Preeti's earlier position which is $6^{th}$ from the right.
Thus, the row consists of (12+1+5) = 18 girls.
Now, Preeti's new position is Kamya's earlier position which is $5^{th}$ from the left.
Number of girls to the right of Preeti = (18 - 5) = 13.
So, Preeti's new position is $4^{th}$ from the right.
Hence, the answer is (C)
