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.
