Thirty children are standing in a row facing North. If in this row Neelam is seventeenth from the left then what is the position of Neelam from the right?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → 14
In a row, a person’s position from the left and from the right both count that person once. So position from the left + position from the right = total number + 1.
So her position from the right is \(30+1-17=\) 14.
Tip: The value 13 in Option (2) is the number of children to Neelam’s right, not her position. Add 1 for Neelam herself.
