The logic followed here is:

Position of P from the front = 18th

Position of Q from the end = 23th

Person A is standing exactly in-between P and Q. P and A have 2 persons between them.

Position of A from the front = Position of P + 2 + 1 = 18 + 3 = 21th

Position of A from the end = Position of Q + 2 + 1 = 23 + 3 = 26th

Total number of people in the queue = Position of A from the front + Position of A from the end - 1

= 21 + 26 - 1

= 46

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".
