Few buses are travelling in a row. Mansi is sitting in the 22nd bus from the front end and Pari is sitting in the 19th bus from the back end. If there are thirty-one buses in between Mansi and Pari, how many buses are present in that row? Correct Answer 72

Mansi’s position → 22nd from the front end

Pari’s position → 19th from the back end

Number of buses between Mansi and Pari → 31

Therefore, the total number of buses = Mansi’s position + Pari’s position + number of buses between them

= 22 + 19 + 31 = 72.

Hence the number of buses in the row = 72.
