In a row of children facing North, Pankaj is 8th from the right end. Prakash, who is 15th from the left end is 6th to the left of Pankaj. How many children are there in the row?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → 28
Prakash stands 15th from the left, and Pankaj is six places to his right, so Pankaj is 21st from the left.
Pankaj is also 8th from the right, so the row holds 21 + 8 − 1 = 28 children, one being subtracted because Pankaj himself is counted from both ends.
