In a row of 35 boys, when Raju was shifted to the left by five places, he became 17th from the right end. What was his earlier position from the left end of the row?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → 24
A boy in a row is counted from both ends, so his position from the left + his position from the right = the number in the row + 1, here \(35+1=36\).
After the shift Raju is 17th from the right, so he is \(36-17=19\)th from the left
He got there by moving 5 places to the left, so before the shift he was \(19+5=\) 24th from the left
