Monalisa is standing in a row, which contains total 45 people. If Monalisa is 27^th from left end and Rakhi is 12^th from right end. Then what is the ratio between the Monalisa’s position from right end to the Rakhi’s position from left end?

Question

Question

Answer 1

The logic followed here is:

Total number of people = 45

Monalisa is 27th from the left end.

So, Place of Monalisa from the right end = 45 - 27 + 1 = 19.

Rakhi is 12th from the right end.

So, Place of Rakhi from the right end = 45 - 12 + 1 = 34.

Now, the ratio between Monalisa’s position from the right end to Rakhi’s position from the left end is:- 19 : 34

Hence, the correct answer is "19 : 34".

Alternate Method

According to the given information:

Total number of people = 45

Monalisa is 27^th from the left end.

Rakhi is 12^th from the right end.

So, total students 27 + 12 = 39

Hence, overlapping does not occur in this case.

The number of people between them = 45 – 39 = 6

So, we get - 26 (Monalisha) 6 (Rakhi) 11.

Therefore, Monalisa’s position from right end = 45 – 26 = 19

Rakhi’s position from left end = 45 – 11 = 34

Ratio between them = 19: 34
