Question:

In a class of 35 students, Kamal is placed seventh from the bottom whereas Sunil is placed ninth from the top. Manoj is placed exactly in between the two. What is Kamal's position from Manoj?

 

Options:

7th

9th

10th

12th

Correct Answer:

10th

Explanation:

According to the question, there are 6 people behind of Kamal and there are 8 people in front of Sunil. So, till this point we know that 16 (6 + Kamal + 8 + Sunil) people are at their positions. Now, 19 people are left. The question states that Manoj is placed exactly in between the two. Thus, we can say that Manoj's position is 19th from the top. Kamal's position from top is 35 - 7 + 1= 29th. Thus, the difference between two is 29 - 19 = 10.
