Mohit is 14th from the left end in a row of children. Pratik is 11th from the right end and 18th from the left end of the same row. How many children are there to the right of Mohit in the row?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → 14
A child who is ath from one end and bth from the other end of a row gives the total = a + b − 1 (the child is counted twice).
Pratik is 18th from the left and 11th from the right: children in the row \(=18+11-1=28\)
Mohit is 14th from the left, so 14 children, Mohit included, are up to his place
Children to the right of Mohit \(=28-14=14\)
