Question
In a row of boys and girls, if Amit is 8th from left end and 3rd from right end, then number of boys and girls in the row is
Solution
The position of Amit from the left end is 8th and from the right end is 3rd. This means there are 7 people to the left of Amit and 2 people to the right of him.
So, the total number of boys and girls in the row would be the sum of the people to the left of Amit, the people to the right of Amit, and Amit himself.
Therefore, the total number of boys and girls in the row is 7 (left of Amit) + 1 (Amit) + 2 (right of Amit) = 10.
