In a row of forty children, Panoo is thirteenth from left end and Qanoo is ninth from right end. How many children are there between Panoo and Ranoo if Ranoo is fourth to the left of Qanoo?

14

The correct answer is Option (4) → 14

Let’s determine their positions from the left end.

• Total children = 40
• Panoo is 13th from the left → Position = 13
• Qanoo is 9th from the right
  ⇒ From the left = 40 - 9 + 1 = 32
• Ranoo is 4th to the left of Qanoo
  ⇒ Position of Ranoo = 32 - 4 = 28

Now, number of children between Panoo and Ranoo:

$28 - 13 - 1 = 14$
