Solution

The correct option is A 16
As given Mukesh is 8th from the right
Suresh is 8th from left
After interchanging of their positions, Suresh becomes 16th from left and Mukesh becomes 8th from left.
So total no of boys = Suresh position from left +Mukesh position from right 1
16+81=23
Mukesh position from right after interchange
=Total boys - Mukesh position from left +1
=238+1=16
Hence, option 'B' is correct.
