Answer 1

Given: A group of friends - Leena, Reena, and Meena are standing in a row of 13 people.

Explanation :

1) Meena stands in the 8th position from the right.

Meena's position from the left will be → 13 - 8 + 1 = 6

2) Reena stands in the exact middle of Meena and Leena, who stands in 4th position from the left of Meena.

Leena's position from the left will be → 6 - 4 = 2

Reena's position from the left will be → (6 + 2) ÷ 2 = 4

So, according to the question if Meena and Reena also exchange their positions between themselves, then after the exchange:-

Thus, Meena's position from the left will be = 4th

Hence, "4" is the correct answer.
