Answer:

Option A is correct, there are 32 boys in a row.

Explanation:

  • Ronald is thirteenth from the left, so there are 12 boys in front of him
  • When Ronald is shifted to his right, east by two places, he is eighteenth from the right end, so there are 17 boys behind him
  • When he is shifted to the right by 2 places, he becomes 15th in position from the left, so now there are 14 on his left side
  • Since there are 17 boys on his right, the number of boys other than Ronald is 17+14 = 31
  • Counting Ronals, the total number of boys is 31 +1 = 32

There are 32 boys in the row. Option A is correct.
