In a row of 27 boys, when Mahesh shifted nine places towards the left, he become 12th from the right end. What was his earlier position form the left end of the row? Correct Answer 24th

Here, there are 27 boys and Mahesh is in 12th position from right end after shifting. i.e. Mahesh is in 3rd position from right before shifting. So 27 – 3 = 24 i.e. there are 23 boys before Mahesh, so his position was 24th from the left end. Hence, the answer is 24th.
