Mohan is 14th from the left end in a row of 40 boys. What is his position from the right end?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → 27th
Mohan’s place counted from the left plus his place counted from the right counts every boy once and Mohan himself twice, so the two positions add up to the total plus 1.
Position from the left + position from the right \(=40+1=41\)
Position from the right \(=41-14=27\), that is, 27th
