In a row of girls, how many girls are there ?

first of all to find the number of girls in a row we must need to know number of persons in a row...

I. A and B occupy the ninth place from the right end, and tenth place from the left and respectively.

from I, we can not conclude that how many persons are in row then how can we find number of girl....so, statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question...

II. M and V occupy seventeenth place from the right end and eighteenth place from the left end respectively.

from II, same from I, we can not conclude that how many persons are in row then how can we find number of girl....so, statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question...


Even on combining we can not conclude that how many persons are in row....only positions are given...


Hence, the data even in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question....
