Options
- A10
- 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 7th& from the bottom and Sofia is 9th from the top.&
Therefore, number of persons between Sofia and Ziya = 35 - (9 + 7) = 19
It's given that Ziya is 7th& 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 10th& position from both. Ziya, therefore, is at the 10th position from Shahruk.
