Forty boys are standing in a row facing the North. Raghu is `11^(th)` from the left and Rajiv is `31^(st)` from the right end of the row. How far away will Laxman, who is third to the right of Raghu in the row, be from Rajiv?

Options

A. `3^(rd)`
B. `4^(th)`
C. `5^(th)`
D. None of these

Answer

B

Explanation

Rajiv.s rank from the right end `=31^(st)`. So, Rajiv.s Rank from the left end `=(40-31) +1= 10^(th)`. Raghu.s rank from the left end `=11^(th)`
So, Laman.s rank from the left end `=(11+3)=14^(th)`. [`because` Laxman= `3^(rd)` to the right of Raghu]

So, Laxman `=(14-10)= 4^(th)` towards right of Rajiv.
