Let R represent Robert
Let C represent Christine
Robert is the 15th student from the left
So there are 14 people (represented by X's) to the left of Robert to get: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXR
Robert is immediately to the right of Christine
In other words Christine is to the left of Robert.
So we get: XXXXXXXXXXXXXCR
Note: There are 13 people (represented by X's) to the left of Christine.
Christine is the 13th student from the right
This means there are 12 students to the right of Christine, and one of those students is Robert, which means there are 11 students to the right of Robert
So we get: XXXXXXXXXXXXXCRXXXXXXXXXXX
Total number of students = (13 people to the left of Christine) + Christine + Robert + (11 students to the right of Robert ) = 26
Answer: A
