Answer 1

Drawing the diagram according to the given information,

Anil (A) is in the 11th position from the left and Bhushan (B) is in the 10th position from the right.

F1 Taniya 21.10.20 Pallavi D5

After interchanging places, Anil (A) becomes 18th from the left.

F1 Taniya 21.10.20 Pallavi D6

So,

Bhushan (B) was also 18^th from the left.

So, there are 17 persons on the left of B and 9 persons to the right of A.

17 + 9 + 1 = 27

There are 27 people in the row.

Now, 27 – 2 = 25 (Anil and Bhushan are eliminated) so there are 25 persons in row other than Anil and Bhushan.

Hence, “25“ is the correct answer.
