In a queue of 38 customers, Anita is 17th from the beginning and Rita is 9th from the end. How many customers are standing between Anita and Rita?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Total customers = 38
Anita is ranked 17th from the start.
Rita is ranked 9th from the end.
First, find Rita's position from the start:
Rita = 38−9+1=30
That means Rita is ranked 30th.
Now, the number of customers between Anita (17) and Rita (30): 30−17−1=12
There are 12 customers standing between Anita and Rita.
