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?

✅ Correct Option: 4

Let the earlier position of Raju from the left end be $x$ .

Total number of boys in the row = 35

After shifting 5 places to the left, Raju's new position from the left end becomes:

New position from left = $x - 5$

After the shift, Raju is 17th from the right end.

The relationship between position from left and position from right:

Position from left + Position from right = Total number + 1

$x - 5 + 17 = 35 + 1$

$x - 5 + 17 = 36$

$x + 12 = 36$

$x = 24$

Therefore, Raju's earlier position from the left end was 24.

The correct answer is Option 4.
