All 87 people are standing in a row, facing the north. Mr. Zzz is 11th from the right end while Mr. Ggg is 26th from the left end. How many people are there between Mr. Zzz and Mr. Ggg?

Explanation

Given: All 87 people are standing in a row, facing the north. Mr. Zzz is 11th from the right end while Mr. Ggg is 26th from the left end. Solution: Total people = 87 Mr. Zzz is 11th from the right. Convert to position from the left: Position from left = 87 - 11 + 1 = 77 So Zzz is 77th from the left. Mr. Ggg is 26th from the left. Now find people between them: 77 - 26 - 1 = 50 So, 50 people are between Mr. Zzz and Mr. Ggg. Thus, correct option is (c).
