In forward direction – EN, ST, AC
In backward direction – GI - In a row of 40 girls, when Komal was shifted to her left by 4 places her number from the left end of the row became 10. What was the number of Swati from the right end of the row of Swati was three places to the right of Komal’s original position?

C) 24
D) 25
E) 26C) 24
Explanation:
When Sunaina’s place is changed to 4 places to her left, her position is 10 from the left end, this means that Sunaina’s original position should be 14 from the left. So this means Kirti’s position from left is 17. After Kirti there are (40-17) 23 girls are sitting in the row.
