In a theatre front row, Hari was ninth from the left while Priya was eighth from the right in the front row. If Raja was thirteenth from the left and was exactly in the middle of Hari and Priya in the same row then what was the total number of people in the front row?
In a theatre front row, Hari was ninth from the left while Priya was eighth from the right in the front row. If Raja was thirteenth from the left and was exactly in the middle of Hari and Priya in the same row then what was the total number of people in the front row? Correct Answer 24
Hari was ninth from the left while Raja was thirteenth from the left. So, we can say that there were 3 persons between Hari and Raja.
And, we also know that Raja was exactly in the middle of Hari and Priya so the number of persons between Raja and Priya will also be 3.
Position of Priya from left end = Position of Raja from left + 3 + 1 = 13 + 3 + 1 = 17
It is given that Position of Priya from right end = 8
Total Number of persons in a row = Position of Priya from left end + Position of Priya from right end – 1 = 17 + 8 – 1 = 24
Hence, 24 peoples are sitting in the front row.
