Position from Left + Position from Right = Total Students + 1. Find Jignesh's position from the left, then subtract 7 to get Kamlesh's position from the left.
Position from Left + Position from Right = Total Students + 1. Find Jignesh's position from the left, then subtract 7 to get Kamlesh's position from the left.
Step 1: Find Jignesh's position from the left end
Total number of students = 34. Jignesh is 12th from the right end. Jignesh's position from the left = Total - (Right position from right) + 1 = 34 - 12 + 1 = 23rd from the left.
Step 2: Find Kamlesh's position from the left end
Kamlesh is 7th to the left of Jignesh. Since Jignesh is 23rd from the left, moving 7 places to the left means Kamlesh's position from the left = 23 - 7 = 16th.
A: 19th is incorrect because it miscalculates the offset. C: 18th is incorrect. D: 17th is incorrect.
B is correct because Kamlesh's position from the left is 16th, which matches Option B.
Always convert right-end positions to left-end positions using the formula: Left Position = Total Students - Right Position + 1 to avoid counting errors.
