In a row of 40 boys, when Akbar was shifted 4 places to his left, his position became 10th from the left end of the row. If Mukesh's position was 3rd to the right of Akbar's earlier position, then what will be Mukesh's position from the right end of the row now?
In a row of 40 boys, when Akbar was shifted 4 places to his left, his position became 10th from the left end of the row. If Mukesh's position was 3rd to the right of Akbar's earlier position, then what will be Mukesh's position from the right end of the row now? Correct Answer 24th
The logic followed is:
Logic: There are 40 students and we have to find Mukesh's position from the right end.
As per the question,
After shifting 4 places to the left, Akbar's place becomes 10th from left.
Hence, he was 14th from the left end earlier.
Also, Mukesh was sitting 3rd to the right of Akbar when counted from his earlier position.
Now, the earlier positions of Akbar and Mukesh are as follows:

As it can be seen that Mukesh is 17th from the left end.
Therefore, Mukesh's position from right position will be:
⇒ x + 17 - 1 = 40.
⇒ x + 16 = 40.
⇒ x = 24.
Therefore, the correct answer will be "24".
