Solution
Setup (positions from front): Let position of the front be 1 and last be N.
- “3 ahead of C” ⇒ C at position 4.
- “21 behind A” ⇒ if A is at position a, then N − a = 21 ⇒ a = N − 21.
- “5 between A and B” ⇒
|a − b| = 6. - “8 between B and C” ⇒
|b − 4| = 9⇒ b = 13 (the other choice −5 is invalid).
Now, with b = 13, we need |a − 13| = 6 ⇒ a = 7 or a = 19.
But a = N − 21, so:
• If a = 7, then N = 28.
• If a = 19, then N = 40.
Both satisfy all conditions; the minimum possible is:
Answer: 28
