All 31 students in a class are standing in a row, facing north. Pooja is 9th from the right end, while Tanya is 16th from the left end. How many people stand between Pooja and Tanya?
6
There are 31 students standing in the row.
Pooja is 9th from the right end, so her position from the left end is 31 − 9 + 1 = 23rd.
Tanya is 16th from the left end, so she is at the 16th position from the left.
The number of people standing between them is found by taking the gap between their positions: 23 − 16 − 1 = 6.
Hence, the number of people standing between Pooja and Tanya is 6.
