In a row of Cars, Maruti is 8th from the left and Toyota is 17th from the right. If they interchange their positions, Maruti becomes 14th from left. How many Cars are there in the row and number of Cars between Maruti and Toyota? Correct Answer 30, 5

When two persons change their positions in a row and they are in definite positions.

Total number of persons = (Present position of 1st person + Previous position of 2nd person) – 1

Number of persons between 1st& 2nd = (Position of 1st from left after interchanging – Position of 1st from left before interchanging) – 1

Total number of Cars = (Present position of Maruti + Previous position of Toyota) – 1

(14 + 17) – 1 = 31 – 1 = 30

Number of Cars between Maruti& Toyota = (Position of Maruti from left after interchanging – Position of Maruti from left before interchanging) – 1

= (14 – 8) – 1

= 6 – 1 = 5

Hence, “30, 5” is the correct answer.
