After interchanging:

Position of Harish from left = 10

Position of Shovan from right = 13

Person between Harish and Shovan = Total - (Position of Harish from left + Position of Shovan from right)

⇒ 36 - (10 + 13)

⇒ 36 - 23

⇒ 13 persons

 Jatin is between Harish and Shovan than 6 will be right of Jatin and 6 will be left of Jatin.

Position of Jatin from right end = Position of Shovan + Person between Jatin and Shovan + 1

⇒ 13 + 6 +1

⇒ 20

Position of Jatin from right end is 20th.

Hence, the correct answer is "20".
