Question:

George is fifth from the left and Peter is twelfth from the right end in a row of children. if peter moves 3 places towards George then he is 10th from the left end. How many children are there in the row? 

Options:
A) 21
B) 22
C) 23
D) 24
Solution:

Ans.(d)

Clearly: George is at the 5th position from the left end, while Peter is at the 12th position from the right end of the line.

So when Peter goes towards George, then he moves 3 places  towards George.

So Peter will now be at the 15th position from the right end. But, He is at the tenth place from the left.

So, the number of children in line = 14 + 1 + 9 = 24

Ans.(d)
Clearly, George lies towards the left end while Peter lies towards the right end of the row. So, when Peter shifts towards George, he shifts 3 places to the left. Thus, Peter is now 15th from the right end. But, Peter is 10th from the left end.

So,Number of children in the row (14 + 1 + 9) = 24.
