Question

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer B, 33.

Step-by-step explanation:

The earlier position of Lata was 8th from left end.

Then she was shifted 4 places and remained 12th place from the left end.

So imagine you have the seats placed like this:

1  2  3  4  5  ...  ...  ...  36  37  38  39  40

We can conclude that from the right end, the 38th place is the 3rd place.

If we repair 40 - 38 = 2 and its place is 3.

So the place number is 40 - position + 1.

Hence, if she is in her ealier postition from left end we have:

40 - 8 + 1 = 33.

Thus, her earlier position from the right end of the row is 33, answer B.
