Last Updated On: Sat Aug 29 2026Given Data
- In a row of 50 people, Amit is 18th from the left end.
- Bhavna is 20th from the right end.
Question
How many people are sitting between Amit and Bhavna?
Answer
12 people.
Solution
- Calculate sum of ranks: Left + Right = 18 + 20 = 38.
- Since Total (50) > Sum of ranks (38), this is a non-overlapping arrangement.
- Persons between = Total - (Left + Right) = 50 - 38 = 12.
- There are 12 people sitting between Amit and Bhavna.
