- B15
- C19
- D21
Correct answer
A. 10
Step-by-step solution
As seen in the figure, Shahruk is between Sofia and Ziya. It's given that Ziya is 7 th from the bottom and Sofia is 9th from the top. Therefore, number of persons between Sofia and Ziya = 35 - (9 + 7) = 19 Sharuk's position between Sofia and Ziya = 19 + 1 = 10. 2 Hence, Shahruk is at the middle i.e. at 10 th position from both. Ziya, therefore, is at the 10th position from Shahruk.
