If you are standing 9th in a queue from either end, how many persons are standing in the queue?
Answer (1)
To determine the total number of persons standing in the queue, we can use the information that you are currently standing 9th from either end of the queue.
Here's how we figure it out:
Position from the Front : Since you are 9th from the front, there are 8 people ahead of you.
Position from the Back : Being 9th from the back means there are 8 people behind you.
Including Yourself : Since you are counted in both positions (from the front and from the back), you need to add 1 person for yourself.
Now, let's calculate:
The total number of people = Number of people in front + Number of people behind + Yourself.
Total people = 8 (people in front) + 8 (people behind) + 1 (yourself).
Total people = 17.
So, there are a total of 17 people standing in the queue.
