If Royce stands 11th from one end and 9th from the other end, how many are there in the line?

To determine how many people are in the line based on Royce's positions, we can start by analyzing the information given. Royce stands 11th from one end of the line and 9th from the opposite end.

When calculating the total number of people in the line, we can use the formula:

Total number of people = Position from one end + Position from the other end - 1.

Royce's position from one end is 11, and from the other end is 9. Applying the formula:

Total number of people = 11 + 9 - 1 = 19.

This calculation reveals that there are 19 individuals in the line. However, the options you shared indicate that the most logical conclusion in context of the options listed would be to include Royce in one of those positions, leading us to consider that there might be a misunderstanding in how the answer is perceived.

The correct answer is therefore 19; you noted D, which suggests a misunderstanding. The total of 19 reflects the proper accounting of both positions.
