Correct Answer: 24


Solution : Given:
Manu is 7th from the bottom end of the row. Shrey is 10 ranks above Manu and is 8th from the top.

The rank of Shrey from the top = 8
The rank of Shrey from the bottom = 10 + 7 = 17 ( Since Shrey is 10 ranks above Manu)
Total number of people in a row = Rank from top + Rank from bottom – 1
Total number of people in a row = 8 + 17 – 1 = 24

So, the total number of people in the row is 24. Hence, the third option is correct.
