SSC CHSL 2025 PYQ — Question 26

SSC CHSL - 28 Nov 2025 - Shift 3 • Reasoning • Q26

In a row of boys, Deepak is 9th from the left and Kavya is 12th from the right. If they exchange their positions, Deepak becomes 18th from the left. What will be the position of Kavya from the right?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Kavita's position from the left = 18

Total number of boys

Formula: Total = Left position + Right position - 1

Total = 18 + 12 - 1 = 29

Now Kavita's new position (from the right)

Kavita will now move to Deepak's old position (9 from the left).

Right position = 29 - 9 + 1

= 21
