40 - 8 = 32

What is the total number of rose trees that were arranged in that row?

Q 10 - 101 small tress of different types are showcased in a row in an exhibition. Rose tree has been showcased exactly in the middle of the row. On the 2nd day, two trees from the left side and 1 tree from the right side was taken out. Find the new rank of the rose tree from the left hand side.
Options :
Answer : C
Explanation
In a list of 101 trees, the middle tree will be having 51st rank, calculated from the either side of the row. Now as we are trying to find out the rank from the left hand side, hence; removal of the trees from the right hand side will not affect.
However; if we remove two trees from the left hand side, then the new rank of the rose tree will be (51 - 2) = 49.
