Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation :
A is 15th from the right in a row of 35, so A's position from the left is 35 - 15 + 1 = 21st.
If D is to the right of A: there are 10 children between them, so D is 21 + 11 = 32nd from the left.
If D is to the left of A: D is 21 - 11 = 10th from the left.
There are two possible positions for D (10th or 32nd), so D's unique position cannot be determined from the given information.
