In a row of people all facing North, Alok is 12th from the right end. Pyush is 18th from the right end. Pyush is exactly between Alok and Priyanka. If Priyanka is 5th from the left end of the line, how many people are there in the row?

Information Given:
Alok: 12th from right
Pyush: 18th from right
Priyanka: 5th from left
Pyush exactly between Alok and Priyanka

Formula Used: Position from left = Total − Position from right + 1

Step-by-step:
Alok from right = 12
Pyush from right = 18
Difference = 6 → midpoint confirmed.

So Priyanka from right = 18 + 6 = 24

Priyanka from left = 5
Total students = 24 + 5 − 1
= 28

Final Answer:

28

Final Correct Option:
(D)
