Zenith is twelfth from the right end and Vilas is fifth from the left in a row of children. If Zenith shifts by three places towards Vilas, he becomes tenth from the left end. How many children are there in the row? Correct Answer 24

Vilas is towards the left end while Zenith is towards the right end of the row.

When Zenith shifts towards Vilas, he shifts three places to the left. Thus, Zenith is now 15th from the right end.

But, Zenith is 10th from the left end.

Therefore, number of children in the row = (14 + 1 + 9) = 24.

Hence, 24 is the correct ans.
