Question

In a row of 40 boys, Satish is 10 places to the right of Rohan and Kewal is 10 places to the left of Vilas. If Vilas was twenty-sixth from the left and there were three boys between Kewal and Satish, what was the position of Rohan in the row?

• A. 10th from the right end
• B. 10th from the left end
• C. 39th from the right end
• D. Data inadequate

Hint:

Always check if relative positions are ambiguous; lack of direction information leads to data inadequacy.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Given: - Vilas is 26th from left.
- Kewal is 10 places left of Vilas, so Kewal is 16th from left.
- There are 3 boys between Kewal and Satish, but Satish could be either left or right of Kewal (position not specified).
- Satish is 10 places right of Rohan.
Since Satish's exact position is ambiguous, the position of Rohan cannot be conclusively determined. Therefore, data is inadequate.
