कुछ लड़के पंक्ति में बैठे हुए हैं P बाई तरफ से 14 वे स्थान पर और Q दाएं तरफ से से सातवें स्थान पर बैठा है यदि 4 लड़के इन दोनों के बीच बैठे हैं, तो पंक्ति में कुल कितने लड़के बैठे हैं |
Detailed Solution & Logic
25
P is 14th from the left.
Q is 7th from the right.
There are 4 boys between P and Q, so their positions differ by 5.
So Q can be either:
- to the right of P: $14 + 5 = 19$, or
- to the left of P: $14 - 5 = 9$
Now use Q’s position from the right:
Total = position from left + position from right − 1
Try Q = 19:
Total = $19 + 7 − 1 = 25$
So total boys = 25.
