There are 25 girls in a horizontal row. Rekha was shifted by three places towards her right side and now she occupies the middle position in the row. What was her original position from the left end of the row?

10th

The correct answer is Option (4) → 10th

Let’s solve it step by step.

• Total number of girls = 25
• The middle position in a row of 25 is:

$\frac{25 + 1}{2} = 13^\text{th}$

So, after shifting, Rekha is at the 13th position.

• She was shifted 3 places to her right, which means her original position was 3 places to the left of 13th.

13 - 3 = 10

Original position from the left end = 10th
