Question : 1

In a row of girls, Veena is 12th from the start and 19 from the end. In another row of girls, Sunita is 14th from the start and 20th from the end. How many girls are there in both the rows together?

a) 72

b) 65

c) 63

d) 61

Answer: (c)

In the first row, Veena is 12th from start and 19th from the end.

Then, the total number of girls = (12 + 19 - 1) = 30

In the second row, Sunita is 14th from start and 20th from the end.

Then, total number of girls = (14 + 20 - 1) = 33

Therefore, Total number of girls = 30 + 33

= 63

a) 15th

b) 16th

c) 12th

d) 10th

e) None of these

Answer: (d)

When Rahul was shifted by three places towards his right side, then he occupies the middle position i.e., 13th position.

Answer: (c)

A total number of boys after 2 new boys joined = 47

Therefore, His new rank from the end = 47 - 21 + 1

= 27th
