Question

    In a row of students, Nishtha is 7th from left

    and Deeksha is 14th from right and the number of students sitting between them is one-fourth the total number of students. Find the total number of students in the row?
    A 28 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 20 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 16 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let total number of students = x
    Then, number of students between
    Nishtha and Deeksha =x/4
    x - (7 +14) =x/4
    x - 21= x/4
    x- x/4=21
    (3x)/4=21
    = 28 x = 28
