Answer 1

Given:

Total number of people in the row = 28

Neeraj's position from the end (right end) = 7th

This means there are (28 - 7)

= 21 people to the left of Neeraj.

So, Neeraj's position from the left end

= 21 + 1 = 22nd.

Bharat is sitting 5th to the left of Neeraj.

To find Bharat's position from the left end,

we subtract 5 from Neeraj's position from the left end.

Bharat's position from the left end = Neeraj's position from the left end - 5

= 22 - 5

= 17th.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".
