Question

• A. 13th
• B. 11th
• C. 10th
• D. 9th

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

10th

Answer 2

Since Kiran is 7th from the bottom, her position from the top can be calculated as:

$\text{Kiran's position from the top} = 35 - 7 + 1 = 29$

So, Kiran is 29th from the top.

Mohan is placed 9th from the top.
Sohan is placed exactly between Kiran (29th) and Mohan (9th).
The position of Sohan will be the average of Kiran's and Mohan's positions:
$\text{Sohan's position} = \frac{29 + 9}{2} = \frac{38}{2} = 19$

So, Sohan is 19th from the top.

Kiran is 29th from the top, and Sohan is 19th from the top. Therefore, the position of Kiran from Sohan is: $\text{Kiran's position from Sohan} = 29 - 19 = 10$

Therefore, Kiran is 10 positions away from Sohan.
