In a row of students, Suresh is 5th from the left end and 17th from the right end. How many students are there in the row?
- (A)20
- (B)22
- (C)23
- (D)21
Correct answer: (D) 21
Total students = (position from left) + (position from right) − 1, because Suresh is counted twice. So the total = 5 + 17 − 1 = 21.
Shortcut: Total = left rank + right rank − 1.
