$\LARGE{ \underline{\underline{ \sf{Required \: answer:}}}}$

It is given that:

There is a WORD.
L is 5th from the left and 6th from the right.

To FinD:

FIRSTLY total no. of letters in the word and then no. of letters must be eliminated to get a 7 letter word.

How to solve?

We have the position of L from left side as well as right side. So, to get the position we can simply ADD them but if we do so, then the position of L will be added two times.

We can hence, subtract 1 from the sum.

✤ A total no. of persons in a row = Position of a person from L.H.S + Position of the same person from R.H.S – 1.

⇒ Total no. of persons = 5 + 6 - 1

⇒ Total no. of persons = 10

We need to eliminate letters to get a 7 letter word.

⇒ No. of letters to be eliminated = 10 - 7 = 3 (Ans)

And we are done! :D
