Question

Some students are sitting in a row. Amrit is at 19th position from the left. Rahul is 8th to the left of Amrit and 6th to the left of Dhaval. If Dhaval is 12th from the right, how many students are there in the row?

• A. 28
• B. 29
• C. 30
• D. 31
• E. 32

Hint:

When working with position problems, use the relationships between positions from the left and right to form equations for the total count.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Let \( N \) represent the total number of students. Given information: - Amrit: 19th from the left. - Rahul: 8 positions left of Amrit, at \( 19 - 8 = 11 \) from the left. - Dhaval: 6 positions left of Rahul, at \( 11 - 6 = 5 \) from the left. - Dhaval: 12th from the right. Therefore: \[ N - 12 + 1 = 5 \quad \Rightarrow \quad N = 28 \] Step 5: Conclusion.
The total number of students is \( \boxed{28} \).
