In a queue at a bus stop, Kamla has 14 people in front of her. Ramesh is the 5th person behind Kamla, and there are 12 people behind Ramesh. How many people are there in the queue?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → 32
Count the places from the front: the people in front, then Kamla, then the places up to Ramesh, then the people behind him.
14 people in front of Kamla, so Kamla is 15th from the front
Ramesh is the 5th person behind Kamla: \(15+5=20\)th from the front
12 people are behind Ramesh: people in the queue \(=20+12=32\)
