Question

Rahul and Nitesh are standing in a row of persons. Rahul is 12th from left side and Nitesh is 18th from the right side of the row. If they interchanged their positions, Rahul becomes 25th from left. Find the new position of Nitesh from the right side.

• A. 38
• B. 32
• C. 42
• D. 31

Hint:

When solving position problems, use the total number of persons in the row and apply algebraic equations to find the unknown.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Let the total number of persons be \( N \). Using the given positions of Rahul and Nitesh, we can set up an equation to find \( N \). After finding \( N \), we can determine Nitesh's new position from the right. The new position is 31.
Thus, the correct answer is (4).
