• A. 24th
• B. 27th
• C. 25th
• D. 26th

Hint:

To calculate a position from the left, subtract the position from the right from the total number of people and add 1.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Given that Manik is fourteenth from the right end in a row of 40 boys, we can calculate his position from the left end using the formula:
\[ \text{Position from left} = \text{Total boys} - \text{Position from right} + 1 \] Substituting the given values:
\[ \text{Position from left} = 40 - 14 + 1 = 27. \] Thus, Manik's position from the left end is 27th.
