Solution

The girl is counting in a sequence of 1 to 5 and then 5 to 1, which makes it a sequence of 9 numbers.

To find out on which finger she ended counting, we need to find the remainder when 1995 is divided by 9.

1995 divided by 9 equals 221 remainder 6.

So, she ended on the 6th finger of the sequence.

The sequence is: Thumb (1), Index (2), Middle (3), Ring (4), Little (5), Ring (6), Middle (7), Index (8), Thumb (9).

Therefore, she ended counting on the Ring finger.
