Answer 1

Answer:

a. 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Vijay's position from the front = 14th

So, the number of people ahead of Vijay = 14 - 1 = 13,

Also, Jack's position from the end = 17th,

So, the number of people after Jack = 16,

It the total number of people in the ques is 48,

Then the number of people between Vijay and Jack = 48 - (13 + 17)

= 48 - 30

= 18,

Now,  if mary is between Vijny and jack,

Then her position from the Vijay = 9th,

That is, the number of people between Vijay and Mary = 9 - 1 = 8

OPTION 'a' is correct.

Note : We supposed that Mary is at exactly middle of Vijay and Jack in the bases of options.

Answer 2

Answer:

A . 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of persons between Vijay and Jack = 48 - (14 + 17) = 17.

Now, Mary lies in middle of these 17 persons i.e., at the eighth position.

So, number of persons between Vijay and Mary = 7.
