Q1. In a row of 21 men, when Manish was shifted four places towards the right, he became 12th from the left end. What was his earlier position from the right end of the row?
A 14th Correct
B 12th
C 10th
D 8th
Explanation
After moving four places to the right, Manish is 12th from the left. Therefore, before the shift he was four places earlier from the left, that is 8th from the left. In a row of 21 people, the position from the right is found by 21 - 8 + 1, which equals 14th. The positions 12th, 10th and 8th ignore either the four-place movement or the conversion from left-end position to right-end position.
