Question: How many children are there in the row of children facing North ?
Statements:
- Vishakha who is fifth from the left end is eighth to the left of Ashish who is twelfth from the right end.
- Rohit is fifth to the left of Nisha who is seventh from the right end and eighteenth from the left end.
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Since 8th to the left of 12th from the right is 20th from the right, so from I, we know that Vishakha is 5th from left and 20th from right i.e. there are 4 children to the left and 19 to the right of Vishakha. So, there are (4 + 1 + 19) i.e. 24 children in the row.
From II, Nisha is 7th from right and 18th from left end of the row.
So, there are (6 + 1 + 17) = 24 children in the row.

In the question, they asked how many children are standing in a row facing north but in a statement, they only gave how many children are there but not the direction.
Anyone, please clear this.

There is no information about children's direction in the statements. So option D should be the correct answer.

Trom statement 1: 5 4 3 2 1(from left end).
(vishaka 5th).
8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1(from ashish).
(vishaka is 8th now) (from question ashish pstion is 12 th from right end).
Therefore 12+12=24 na,
From statement 2:
6+1+17=24.
Therefore either 1/2 statements will be right yar you got it.
(vishaka 5th).

As it is mentioned north side, for all the students it's measured north side. So answer is C correct.

They asked how many children facing north. But in the 2 options they didn't mention about the direction.

The question is about how many childrens facing north?

To create confusion they have given as north. Don't go for direction just calculate the the total no.of students sitting in a row.
That's all.
Facing north is the basic sitting position of students.
Given according the question. Ignore the direction blah blah blah.
