In a row of 16 girls, when Seema was shifted by two places towards the left, she became the 7th from the left end. What was her earlier position from the right end of the row?

There is a row of 16 girls.
Seema was shifted two places towards the left and became the 7th girl from the left end.

Logic: Total Number of people = (Position from left + Position from right) - 1

Seema was two positions to the right of this new position, meaning she was originally in the 9th position from the left.

Position from the right = (16 − Position from the left) + 1 = (16 − 9) + 1 = 8

Therefore, Seema's original position from the right end was 8th.

Thus, the correct option is (a) 8th
