- It is simple addition: 18 + 11 + 5 = 34.
How?
A is 18th from the front, so, there are 18 persons from 1 to A.
B is 11th from the back, so there are 11 persons from 1 to B (counting backwards).
There are 5 persons standing between them. Just adding three numbers do the trick.

- ans is both 34 && 22
when A stands infront of B then possible answer is 34(18+5+11)
when B stands infront of A then possible answer is 22(18-7+11)

- A is 18 from the top and B is 11 from bottom. there are 5 persons standing between A and B
Given data means 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12(B) 13 14 15 16 17 18(A) 19 20 21 22
Assume 1 is top ,18 th positon is A..
From back(bottom) onwards 11 position is B
So 12 persons are standing in the queue.
I hope so u are all understand..

- a's position is 18th from front,b's 11 position from back,between a and b 5 persons .so 18+5+11=34
- 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(1)
- A=18
B=11
5
= 34
- 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(1)
- A is 18th from the front=18
5 persons standing between A and B=5
B is 11th from the back=11
Now,
18+5+11 = 34 - 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(1)
- it can be both 22 or 34
-----------B-----A----
-----------------A-----B----------
nowhere it is given dat A stands ahead of B only the diff is 5;

- 34...first 18 + back 11+middle 5..
- 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- A-18,
persons between A and B is 5
B-11 from back
hence 18+5+11=34 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- It should be can't be determined.
Since we don't know whether A is ahead of B or behind B.
Ans is coming as 34 (If A is ahead of B) or 22(If A is behind B).
So ans is d) - 5 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 22or 34 only 2 cases are possible
- 4 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
