In a row of 60 students, Ramesh is 36th from the left side and Mahesh is 32nd from the right side. Find the total number of students between them.

  • A.2
  • B.4
  • C.6
  • D.8

Answer: C

There are 6 students between them.

Convert Mahesh's position to a count from the left:

\[ \begin{aligned} 60 - 32 + 1 &= 29\text{th from left} \\ 36 - 29 - 1 &= 6 \end{aligned} \]

Mahesh is 29th and Ramesh 36th from the left, so positions 30 to 35 lie between them: 6 students. Forgetting to subtract 1 at either step gives 7 or 8.
