15th

16th

17th

10th

✅ Correct Option: 4

There are 25 girls in a horizontal row. After shifting, Rekha occupies the middle position.

For 25 girls in a row, the middle position is:

Middle position $= \dfrac{25 + 1}{2}$

Middle position $= \dfrac{26}{2}$

Middle position $= 13$

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

Rekha was shifted 3 places towards her right side to reach the 13th position.

Original position $= 13 - 3$

Original position $= 10$

Therefore, Rekha's original position was 10th from the left end of the row.

The answer is Option 4: 10th.
