RRB NTPC 2024 Undergraduate CBT 1 Question Paper (29-Aug-2025) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

16th

Determining Kamlesh's Position from the Left End

This problem involves calculating the position of an individual in a line based on relative positions. We are given the total number of students, the position of one student (Jignesh) from one end, and the relative position of another student (Kamlesh) to the first.

Step 1: Calculate Jignesh's Position from the Left

We know the total number of students in the row is 34. All students are facing North.

Jignesh's position is given as 12th from the right end.

To find Jignesh's position from the left end, we can use the formula:

Position from Left = Total Students - Position from Right + 1

Applying the values:

Jignesh's Left Position = \(34 - 12 + 1\)

Jignesh's Left Position = \(22 + 1 = 23^{rd}\)

So, Jignesh is the 23rd student from the left end.

Step 2: Determine Kamlesh's Position Relative to Jignesh

The problem states that Kamlesh is 7th to the left of Jignesh.

Since Jignesh is 23rd from the left end, and Kamlesh is 7 positions further to the left, we subtract 7 from Jignesh's left position.

Step 3: Calculate Kamlesh's Position from the Left End

Kamlesh's Left Position = Jignesh's Left Position - 7

Kamlesh's Left Position = \(23 - 7\)

Kamlesh's Left Position = \(16^{th}\)

Therefore, Kamlesh is the 16th student from the left end of the line.

Summary of Positions

Student Position from Right End Position from Left End
Jignesh 12th 23rd
Kamlesh (Calculable, but not needed) 16th

The calculation confirms that Kamlesh's position from the left end is 16th.
