Question

If in a row, Rahul is 11^th from the left end and Kavya is 12^th from the right end and there are four persons in between Rahul and Kavya, then find the minimum number of persons in the row?
1. 18
2. 15
3. 16
4. 17
5. None

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : 17

Here we have to find the minimum no. of persons in the row, hence we will consider the case of overlapping.

Total number of persons = (Sum of positions of both persons) – (Number of persons in between them) – 2

→ (11 + 12) – 4 – 2

→ 23 – 4 – 2

→ 19 – 2

→ 17

Hence, minimum number of the persons in the row is 17.
