Case 2. (i)            Y_____                O   L___                T This case will get discarded as there is no place left for Z. (ii) T  _Z__                 Y_O L__ This case will get discarded as there is no place left for A. (iii) A Z __ T _ P _ _ Y C O L F E Hence 14 people standing in line
