Solution

Sure, here are the steps to calculate the number of people between Biraj and Sushweta:

  1. First, we need to find out the rank of Sushweta from the beginning. Since she is 5th from the last in a class of 32 students, her rank from the beginning will be 32 - 5 + 1 = 28th.

  2. Now, we know that Biraj is 14th from the beginning and Sushweta is 28th from the beginning.

  3. To find out the number of students between Biraj and Sushweta, we subtract Biraj's rank from Sushweta's rank and then subtract 1 (because we don't count either Biraj or Sushweta in the number of students between them).

  4. So, the number of students between Biraj and Sushweta is 28 - 14 - 1 = 13.

Therefore, there are 13 students between Biraj and Sushweta.
