Question

• A. 4
• B. 7
• C. 2
• D. 5

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Understanding the Problem 

We are given that A and E are at the ends of a straight line, and there are 3 people standing in between them.

Step 2: Counting the Total Number of People

If A and E are the two end positions, then we count as follows:

• A, Person 1, Person 2, Person 3, E

This means there are 3 people between A and E, plus A and E themselves.

• 3 + 2 = 5

Step 3: Final Answer

Thus, the total number of people in the group is 5.

Final Answer: The correct answer is (d) 5
