Directions : Read the following questions carefully and choose the right answer.

During a prize distribution ceremony, Vikram was ninth from the left while Janhvi was eighth from the right in the front row. If Hariom was thirteenth from the left and was exactly in the middle of Vikram and Janhvi in the same row then what was the total number of people in the front row?

Step-by-step solution

Here, we know that Vikram was ninth from the left while Hariom was thirteenth from the left. So, we can say that there were 3 persons between Vikram and Hariom.

And, we also know that Hariom was exactly in the middle of Vikram and Janhvi so the number of persons between Hariom and Janhvi will also be 3.

At this point, using the given information we can create a following figure:



Now, total number of people in the queue = (8 + Vikram + 3 + Hariom + 3 + Janhvi + 7)

= (8 + 1 + 3 + 1 + 3 + 1 + 7) = 24

Thus, the total number of people in the queue was 24.

Hence, the correct answer is option D.
