There are 28 flower pots in a single row from east to west. A rose pot is 11th from the east end. A lily pot is the 3rd pot to the west of the rose pot. What is the position of the lily pot from the west end?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → 15th
Find the lily pot’s place from the east end first, then use position from the west = total − position from the east + 1.
The rose pot is 11th from the east
The lily pot is 3rd to the west of it: \(11+3=14\)th from the east
Lily pot from the west \(=28-14+1=15\)th
