Three persons A, B, C can be arranged in a queue in six different ways, ie ABC, CBA, BAC, CAB, BCA, ACB. But since there are only 3 persons ahead of C, so C should be in front of the queue. Thus, there are only two possible arrangements, ie CBA and CAB.

We may consider the two cases as under:

Case I:  ←3C↔8B↔5A→21

Clearly, number of persons in the queue = (3+1+8+1+5+1+21=) 40

Case II:  ←3C A↔5B

Number of persons between A and C                  

= (8 - 6) = 2   

∵[C↔8B A→21B]

Clearly number of persons in the queue = (3+1+2+1+21) = 28

Now, 28 < 40. So, 28 is the minimum number of persons in the queue.                                                     

The sum of the oxidation numbers in a compound must equal zero. In the compound hydrogen sulfide, H2S, the two hydrogen atoms have an oxidation number of +1, for a total of +2.

Therefore, the oxidation number of sulfur in the compound is -2, and the sum of the oxidation numbers is 0.

A can do the work = 18 days
B can do the work = 18/2 = 9 days
(A + B)'s 1 day work = 1/18 + 1/9 = 1/6
=> In 3 days = 3x1/6 = 1/2 work is completed.
