Question

Rohan is 7th to the left of akshay in a row of boys. vijay, who is 20th from the left end of the row is 7th to the right of akshay. if geet who is 3rd to the right of rohan is 20th from the right end of the row, how many boys are there in the row?

Answer 1

Let me write the position of the boys so that it'll be easy to cross check first and then I'll explain.

First of all there are 29 boys in total.

someone = 1st place

Rohan = 6th place

Geet = 9th place

Akshay = 13th place

Vijay = 20th place.

someone = 29th place.

Hope the positions are clear to you.

Now, In order to solve this question you have to put any one at a fixed point.

I have chosen Akshay to be fixed. According to the question I have place Rohan 7th position left to Akshay and Vijay 7th position right to Akshay.

Now the most important clue Vijay is at 20th position from left end sof the row and Geet is sitting third next to Rohan and is at 28 position from the right end.

Therefore if vijay is at 20th position from left Akshay will be at 13th position and Rohan will be at 6th position.

Answer 2

Answer:there are 28 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

Let fix geet position,

Position of geet from vijay:7+7-3=11th

Now geet is at position from left is:20-11=9th

Now Geet position from left:9th and right: 20th.

Now total boys are:20+9-1=28.
