Correct Answer: 34
Solution :
Given:
Paresh is 14th from the left and Dileep is 16th from the right in a line of students. The position of Dileep becomes 21st from the right when both interchange their positions.
So, we can say that –
Paresh position of 14th from the left end = Paresh position of 21st from the right end.
The total number of students in that row = (Position from left) + (Position from right) – 1
= (14 + 21) – 1 = 35 – 1 = 34
So, the total number of people in the line is 34. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
