In a row of boys there are 13 boys between Shakib and Ali. Shakib is 28 from the left end of the row. If Shakib is nearer than Ali to the right end of the row, then how far away is Ali from the left end of the row?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → 14th
Shakib is nearer than Ali to the right end, so Ali stands to the left of Shakib, with 13 boys between them.
Counting from the left, the row up to Shakib holds 28 boys: the boys before Ali, Ali, the 13 boys between, and Shakib
Boys before Ali \(=28-13-1-1=13\)
So Ali is \(13+1=\) 14th from the left
