In a row of forty children, Panoo is thirteenth from left end and Qanoo is ninth from right end. How many children are there between Panoo and Ranoo if Ranoo is fourth to the left of Qanoo?
Solution
Given that there are 40 children in a row.
Panoo is 13th from the left end, so Panoo's position from left = 13
Qanoo is 9th from the right end.
Position from left = Total children - Position from right + 1
Qanoo's position from left = 40 - 9 + 1
Qanoo's position from left = 32
Ranoo is fourth to the left of Qanoo.
Ranoo's position from left = 32 - 4
Ranoo's position from left = 28
Number of children between Panoo and Ranoo:
Panoo is at position 13
Ranoo is at position 28
Children between them = 28 - 13 - 1
Children between them = 14
Therefore, there are 14 children between Panoo and Ranoo.
