Students were standing in a queue to submit their college fees. Priya was 17th from the front end and Mona was 9th from the back end. If there are fifteen people in between Priya and Mona, how many people are present in that queue? Correct Answer 41

Priya’s position → 17th from the front end

Mona’s position → 9th from the back end

Number of people between Priya and Mona → 15

Therefore, the total number of people = Priya’s position + Mona’s position + number of people between them
= 17 + 9 + 15 = 41.

Hence the number of people in the queue = 41.

This is a "nonoverlapping case".

Note:

When between members ≤ (least people - 2) = overlapping

When, between members ≥ (least people - 2) = Non overlapping
