Correct Answer: 19


Solution : Given:
A is 7th from the left, and B is 9th from the right. They both interchange their positions. Now A becomes 11th from the left.

After interchanging the new position of A = 11th from the left
Total number of persons = New position of A from left + B's position from right – 1
Total number of persons = 11 + 9 – 1
Total number of persons = 19

So, the total number of persons at a bus stop is 19. Hence, the third option is correct.
