Solutions

S1. Ans. (b)
Sol. Yatin is 35th from the left end and 15th from the right end of the row
So, number of boys in the row = (35 -1 + 15) = 49
Now, Ashu is 18th from the right
Ashu from left end= 49- (18-1) = 32
Hence, Ashu is 32th from the left end of the row.

Solutions (2-3):
Sol. E > D > B > A > C

S2. Ans. (c)
S3. Ans. (d)

S4. Ans. (e)
Sol. L> M > J/N > K > J/N

S5. Ans. (a)
Sol. Dinesh position from right end = (30+1-15) =16
Students between them = (20-16-1) = 3

S6. Ans. (a)
Sol. B’s position from the left is = (34-21+1) = 14th
Therefore, A’s rank from the left is = (14+6) = 20th

Solution (7-9):
Sol. F > A (15) > B/D > B/D > E > C (4)

S7. Ans. (d)
S8. Ans. (e)
S9. Ans. (c)

S10. Ans. (e)
Sol R > X > P/Y > Q > P/Y
