Question : Directions: All 32 students in a class are standing in a row facing north. Akash is 12th from the right end while Priya is 18th from the left end. How many people are standing between Akash and Priya?
Option 1: Two
Option 2: Four
Option 3: Three
Option 4: Five
Correct Answer: Two
Solution :
Given:
There are a total of 32 students in the class;
Akash is 12th from the right end while Priya is 18th from the left end.
⇒ If Aakash is 12th from the right end, this means that 11 students are standing after Aakash.
Thus, the position of Aakash from the left end will be→32 – 11 = 21st
⇒ Priya is 18th from the left end and Aakash is 21st from the left end, then the number of students standing between both of them is→21 – 18 = 2
So, 2 people are standing between Akash and Priya. Hence, the first option is correct.
