Question
Directions: Study the information given below and answer the questions that follow.In a row of boys facing north, A is sixteenth from the left and B is eighth from the right.i) C is immediately to the left of A.ii) There are only two persons between A and B.How many boys are in the row if C is between A and B?
Solution
To solve this problem, we need to consider the positions of A, B, and C in the row.
- A is 16th from the left.
- B is 8th from the right.
- C is immediately to the left of A.
- There are only two persons between A and B.
Since C is immediately to the left of A, C is 15th from the left.
Since there are only two persons between A and B, B is 19th from the left (16th position of A + 2 persons + 1 position of B).
Now, we know that B is 8th from the right and 19th from the left.
So, the total number of boys in the row is 19 (from the left to B) + 7 (from B to the right end) = 26 boys.
