Back to paper

There are 15 bottles arranged in a line. Bottle X is 3rd from the start and Bottle Y is 6th from the end. Find the number of bottles between X and Y.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Total bottles = 15

X = 3rd from the start

Y = 6th from the end

Y's position from the start

Formula:

Position from the start = Total - Position from the end + 1

= 15 - 6 + 1 = 10

So Y is the 10th bottle from the start.

Bottles between X and Y

10 - 3 - 1 = 6

There are 6 bottles between X and Y.
