Solution

The correct option is D 24
There are 53 people in a queue, and 36 people standing in front of Kamal. Which means that Kamal is the 37th in line and there are 53-37=16 people standing behind him in the queue.
Ronak is the 42nd person from the back of the row → There are 41 people behind him in the queue. So he’s the 53 - 41 = 12th person in line. So people in 13th to 36th positions are standing between them.
From the information we have, we can say that there are
36 - 13 + 1 = 24 people between Ronak and Kamal.
