C Correct answer
Explanation

Statement I gives position from back. Statement II gives the ratio of people before and after Kunal. Let total people be N. Position from front (F) and back (B) relates as F + B - 1 = N. With both, we can solve for N and then F.

AI explanation

Let the total number of people in the queue be x; statement I gives Kunal's position from the back as 16, meaning his position from the front is x minus 15. Statement II gives the ratio of people before and after him as 4 to 3, meaning his position from the front relates to the total people by the equation 4 out of 7 equals his position minus one. Using both together, you can substitute the ratio into the total count equation to find his exact position from the front.
