The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of how many children are there between P and Q in a row of children, we will analyze the information provided in both statements. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Position of P:** - From Statement I, we know that P is 15th from the left in the row. - This means that there are 14 children to the left of P. 2. **Understanding the Position of Q:** - From Statement II, we learn that Q is exactly in the middle of the row and that there are 10 children towards his right. - If Q has 10 children to his right, then he must be 11th from the left (since there are 10 children to the right of him). 3. **Determining the Position of P and Q:** - Now we know: - P is 15th from the left. - Q is 11th from the left. 4. **Finding the Number of Children Between P and Q:** - To find how many children are between P and Q, we can list their positions: - P is at position 15. - Q is at position 11. - The children between them are those in positions 12, 13, and 14. - Therefore, the number of children between P and Q is: - 12th (1 child) - 13th (1 child) - 14th (1 child) - This gives us a total of 3 children between P and Q. ### Final Answer: There are **3 children** between P and Q.
