Answer 2

47

Number of children:

In the question, it is given that:

• Several children are sitting in a row
• Rishabh is fifteenth from the right end
• Shikha is twenty-fourth from the left
• Shikha is ninth to the left of Rishabh

We can infer that:

• Shikha is twenty-fourth from the right end

Total children can be calculated as,

Total children = Position of Shikha from the left + position of Shikha from the right - 1

Total children = 24 + 24 - 1

Total children = 47
