Question

Accepted Answer

#### Step 1: Understand the Problem
- Rakesh is **17th from the right**.
- Ankit is **15th from the left**.
- After interchanging positions, Ankit becomes **19th from the left**.

#### Step 2: Calculate Total Students
When Ankit moves to Rakesh's position, his new position is **19th from the left**.  
The total number of students can be calculated as:  
$$
	ext{Total Students} = (	ext{Position of Ankit from the left}) + (	ext{Position of Rakesh from the right}) - 1.
$$

Substitute values:  
$$
	ext{Total Students} = 19 + 17 - 1 = 36.
$$

#### Step 3: Verify
This calculation accounts for all students without overlap or gaps in their positions.

---

Thus, the total number of students in the line is **36**, making Option **1** correct.
