There are 56 students in a row, Akash is 12th from the right and Pratyusha is 17th from the left, Shivani is 4th position left from Akash. How many students are there between Ayush and Shivani if Ayush is between Pratyusha and Shivani?  Correct Answer 11

The total number of students = 56

Akash is 12th from the right and Pratyusha is 17th from the left, so the number of students between them = 56 - (17 + 12) = 56 - 29 = 27

16 (Pratyusha) 27 (Akash) 11

Now, Shivani is 4th position left from Akash so Shivani is 16th from the right end.

Therefore, there are 27 - 4 = 23 students between Pratyusha and Shivani.

we get,

16 (Pratyusha) 23 (Shivani) 3 (Akash) 11

Now given, Ayush is between Pratyusha and Shivani

So, there are 11 students between Ayush and Shivani.

16 (Pratyusha) 11 (Ayush) 11 (Shivani) 3 (Akash) 11

Hence, the correct answer is 11.
