Sort:  
  1. 100 as there are 99 places between 25th and 125th

If Jif is 25th in line then that means there are 24 people in front of him

Jan has 124 in front of her.

Jan and Jif do not count as for people between them

So Between them is:

124 Infront of Jan

Minus 25 (Sing Jif does not count as he is the end)

So the answer is 99

But in reality in a College/highschool Canteen there would be an ever changing number of people/things(Kids can be odd).

Jif 's spot doesn't count and the people in between them are counted at 99 so answer 2. 100 is correct. Enjoyed and thank you.

Its 2nd.
Answer is 100.
Because 100 is greater than the 99 people between jif and lina( jif and lina's position number will not be count.

100 is greater. Being the 125th in line means you would be the 100th person after the 25th. Therefor there's 99 people in between.

Answer 2.there is 99ppl in between. J

Hmm first of all, spammers appear in your comments for first time that i see :-).

We all will be registering to forex trading in just a minute... Why make such a long comment without anything to do with her post? shush...

Coming back to answer:

2. number 100

because 100> 98 people between them. Counting people between them are 2 less, not one.

The number of people between Jif and Lina
100
both are correct , because the difference between 25 and 125 is same , upvoted resteem
