All 59 people are standing in a row facing north. Wang is 2nd from the left end while Chow is 1st from the right end. How many people are there between Wang and Chow?​​

All 59 people are standing in a row facing north.

Wang is 2nd from the left end while Chow is 1st from the right end.

​​Wang is 2nd from the left end, meaning he is in position 2.

Chow is 1st from the right end, meaning he is in position 59.

Total people between = (Chow’s position) - (Wang’s position)

= 59 - 2 - 1

= 56

Thus, correct option is (a). 56
