In a row of 54 students facing the north, Gagan is 13th from the right end. If Nitin is 17th to the left of Gagan, what is Nitin's position from the left end of the line?
25th
The row has 54 students facing north, so the left end and right end are fixed reference points.
Gagan is 13th from the right, so his position from the left is \(54-13+1=42\).
Nitin is 17th to the left of Gagan, which means we move 17 places towards the left: \(42-17=25\).
Hence, Nitin is 25th from the left end of the line.
