Question

The following Questions are based on inter-se ranking between two people or a group of people.

In a row of boys, Jeevan is seventh from the start and eleventh from the end. In another row of boys, Vikas is tenth from the start and twelfth from the end. How many boys are there in both the rows together?

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

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : 38

In a row of boys, Jeevan is seventh from the start and eleventh from the end. 

Total number of boys in Jeevan's row = 7 + 11 - 1

= 18 - 1

= 17

In another row of boys, Vikas is tenth from the start and twelfth from the end.

Total number of boys in Vikas's row = 10 + 12 - 1

= 22 - 1

= 21

Total number of boys in both the rows together = 17 + 21

= 38

Hence, '38' is the correct answer.
