Thirty children are standing in a row facing North. If in this row Neelam is seventeenth from the left then what is the position of Neelam from the right?
Solution
There are 30 children standing in a row, and Neelam is 17th from the left.
To find Neelam's position from the right, we use the relationship:
Position from right = Total number of children - Position from left + 1
Substituting the values:
Position from right =
Position from right =
We can verify this makes sense: if Neelam is 17th from the left, there are 16 children to her left and 13 children to her right . Counting from the right, those 13 children come first, then Neelam is at position 14.
Therefore, Neelam is at position 14 from the right.
The answer is Option 3: 14.
