Question: How many children are there between P and Q in a row of children ?
Statements:
- P is fifteenth from the left in the row.
- Q is exactly in the middle and there are ten children towards his right.
Answer: Option
Explanation:
From II, Q being in the middle, there are 10 children to his right as well as to his left. So, Q is 11th from the left. From I, P is 15th from the left.
Thus, from both I and II, we conclude that there are 3 children between P and Q.

Its 16 because q is 11th and p is 5 places left, so it will become 16th position.
