Question

In a row of 34 students facing North, Yudveer is 20th from the right end. If Piyush is 8th to the left of Yudveer, what is Piyush's position from the left end of the line?

• A. 5th
• B. 8th
• C. 7th
• D. 6th

Answer 1

Answer:

C. 7th

7th is Piyush's position from the left end of the line.

1. Find Yudveer's position:

• Yudveer is 20th from the right end.

2. Find Piyush's position from the right end:

• Since everyone is facing North, moving to the "left" means moving further towards the left end (and further away from the right end).

• Piyush = 20 + 8 = 28th from the right end.

3. Convert to position from the left end:

• Formula: Position from Left = (Total Students - Position from Right) + 1

• Piyush's Position = 34 - 28 + 1 = 7
