In this type of questions, generally, the ranks of a person-both from the top and from the bottom are mentioned and the total, number, of persons, is asked. However, this question is put in the form of a puzzle of interchanging seats by two persons.

1)

. In a class of 35 students, Kunal is placed seventh from tfie bottom whereas Sonali is placed ninth from the top. Pulkit is placed exactly ih between the two. What is Kunal's position from Pulkit?


A) 9

B) 10

C) 11

D) 13

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

 Number of students between Kunal and Sonali = 35 - (7 + 9) = 19.

Clearly, there are 9 students between Kunal and Pulkit, as well as Pulkit and Sonali.

So, Kunal is 10th from Pulkit.
