Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: 5

Explanation: āœ… Correct Answer: D) 5 šŸ“š Explanation: The total number of students in the row is 30. The total number of positions occupied by Amit and Sumit from both ends combined is 10 + 15 = 25. Since 25 is less than 30, they do not overlap. The number of students sitting between them is simply the total students minus the occupied positions: 30 - 25 = 5 students.
