Solution

The correct option is A 21
Answer: Option D

Explanation:
Naman is 11th from the top and Soham is 5th from the bottom.
It is also given that Naman is 5 places ahead of Soham.
This means Naman is at the sixth place ahead of Soham.
So, Naman is 11th from the bottom.

Now, we know that Naman is 11th from the top and also 11th from the bottom.

Total number of students in the queue = 11 + 11 - 1
= 21
