Right Answer is: B

SOLUTION

In this question -

From the above figure, Mintu is 9th from the right and Amir is 14th from the right end and Ambuj is 7th from the left end and 2nd from the left of Amir. So Amir is 9th from the left end and Mintu is 14th from the left end.
So we calculate the total number of boys in a row = 
Ambuj from the left + Amir is 2nd from the Ambuj + Mintu is 5th to the Amir + 8 person right to the Mintu
= 7 + 2 + 5 + 8 
= 22
total number of boys = 22
Hence, option B is the correct response.
