Cevap

The total number of passport applications in the stack is 23.
To find the total number of items in a linear arrangement when one item's position is given from both ends, you add the two position numbers and subtract 1. Adding the top rank (8) and the bottom rank (16) gives 24. We must then subtract 1 because Amit's folder is included in both the '8' and the '16'. Therefore, 8+16−1=238 + 16 - 1 = 23.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the top and bottom rank of the specific item.
Top position = 8, Bottom position = 16.
Both positions of the same object are required to determine the overall length of the sequence.
2
Apply the dual rank formula for a single item: Total = Top + Bottom - 1.
8 + 16 - 1 = 23.
Subtracting 1 is necessary because Amit's folder is counted twice—once when counting from the top, and once when counting from the bottom.
