S11. Ans. (c)
Sol. Number of students in the class= 15+23-1=37

S12. Ans. (d)
Sol. Number of boys who passed = (31 + 13 – 1) = 43
∴ Total number of boys in the class = (43 + 6 + 4) = 53

S13. Ans. (b)
Sol. Clearly, Aman is 10th from the right end and
Babloo is 8th from the left end and 12th from the right end of the row
So, number of boys in the row = (8 -1 + 12) = 19
Now, Aman is 10th from the right
Aman from left end= 19- (10-1)
Hence, Aman is 10th from the left end of the row.

S14. Ans. (e)
Sol. Harmaini position from right end = (37+1-19) = 19
Students between them = (19-16-1) = 2

S15. Ans. (b)
Sol. Total number of persons in the row = (18+22-1) = 39
