Question

In a row of forty children, P is thirteenth from the left end and Q is ninth from the right end. How many children are there between P and R if R is fourth to the left of Q ?

Answer 1

P is at thirteen,Q is at thirty-two ,R is at twenty-eight
the children between P and R is 14

Answer 2

Answer:

There are 14 children between P and R.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total students = 40,

Since, Q is ninth from the right end and R is fourth to the left of Q,

⇒ R is thirteenth from the Right end,

Now, P is thirteenth from the left end,

⇒ P is 28th from the right end,

Thus, the number of children between P and R = (P's position from the right end- R's position from the right end) - 1

= ( 28- 13 ) - 1

= 15 - 1

= 14
