Explanation :
There are 36 children in all and Disha is 5th from the top.
∴ Disha’s rank from bottom = 36 − 5 + 1 = 32nd.
Thus, Disha is 14 places away from Jaspreet.
Vihaan is exactly between Jaspreet and Disha.
Hence, Vihaan’s rank from bottom = 18 + (14/2) = 18 + 7 = 25th
Hence, option (a).

Explanation :
Rahul is 19th from the fron and Dinesh is 33rd from the end. There are 85 people in the queue.
Number of people between Rahul and Dinesh = 85 – 19 – 33 = 33
Shubham is the exactly between the Rahul and Dinesh, hence Shubham is (33 + 1)/2 = 17 places away from either Rahul or Dinesh.
Rahul---16 people---Shubham---16 people---Dinesh
∴ Shubham’s position from the from = 19 + 17 = 36th.
Hence, option (c).

Explanation :
Initially Bhanu was 21st from the left. After interchanging position same position (occupied by Viru now) is 30th from the right.
∴ Total number of students = 21 + 30 – 1 = 50.
After exchange Bhanu occpies 19th position from right.
∴ New position of Bhanu from left = 50 – 19 + 1 = 32nd.
Alternately,
Viru was originally 19th from the right and then became 30th from the right.
∴ Viru moved left by 11 places.
∴ Bhanu also should have moved right by 11 places.
Therefore, Bhanu’s position from the left after the interchange = 21 + 11 = 32nd.
Hence, option (a).
