In a row, there are 6 boys between A and B and A being the first boy in row. There are 3 boys between B and C. If there are 12 boys after C, then how many maximum boys are there in the row? Correct Answer 24

A’s position = 1st

B’s position = (A + 6 between + B) → 8th

C’s position = (B + 3 between + C) → 12th

Number of maximum boys = 12 (C’s position) + 12 (after C)

= 24
