In a row of 40 students, Amit is 15th from the left end. What is his position from the right end?
25th
26th
24th
27th
26th
To find the position from the opposite end, use the formula: Total Students - Given Position + 1 = Opposite Position.
To find the position from the opposite end, use the formula: Total Students - Given Position + 1 = Opposite Position.
Identify given variables
The total number of students in the row is 40. Amit's position from the left is 15.
Apply the ranking formula
Position from right = (Total - Left Position) + 1. Substituting the values: (40 - 15) + 1 = 25 + 1 = 26.
A is wrong because it fails to include the student himself in the count. C is wrong because it uses simple subtraction (40-15=25) without adding 1 for the inclusive count. D is wrong because it suggests an incorrect addition of 2 to the difference instead of 1.
B is correct because the formula (Total - Position + 1) correctly identifies that Amit is the 26th student when counted from the right end.
Always remember that in a single row, the sum of a person's position from left and right is always one more than the total number of people (Left + Right = Total + 1).
