Question

In a row of people all facing North, Fardeen is 4th from the left end. Paras is 6th from the left end. Paras is exactly between Fardeen and Kapil. If Kapil is 5th from the right end of the row, how many people are there in the row?

• A. 10
• B. 12
• C. 11
• D. 13

Answer 1

Answer:

B. 12

There are 12 people in the row. 1. Find positions from the left end: * Fardeen is 4th from the left end. * Paras is 6th from the left end. 2. Determine Kapil's position from the left end: * The distance between Fardeen and Paras is 6 - 4 = 2places. * Since Paras is exactly in the middle of Fardeen and Kapil, the distance from Paras to Kapil must also be 2 places. * Therefore, Kapil's position from the left end is 6 + 2 =8th. 3. Calculate the total number of people: * Kapil is 8th from the left end and 5th from the right end. *Total = (Position from Left) + (Position from Right) - 1 * Total= 8 + 5 - 1 = 12
