correct option not given

Question:

George is fifth from the left and Peter is twelfth from the right end in a row of children.  If Peter shifts by three places towards George, he becomes tenth from the left end.  How many children are there in the row.

Options:
A) 21
B) 22
C) 23
D) 24
Solution:

Ans.(d)

Clearly, George lies towards the left and while Peter lies towards the right end of the row.    

So, when Peter shifts towards George, he shifts 3 places to the left.  

Thus, Peter is now 15th from the right end.  

But, Peter is 10th from the left end. 

∴ Number of children in the row = (14 + 1 + 9) = 24.
