💡 Analysis & Explanation
Determining Initial Position
The total number of students is 81. Sima's position is given as 12th from the right end.
Calculating Manju's Right-End Position
Manju is 9 positions to the left of Sima. In a north-facing row, moving left means moving further away from the right end. So, Manju's position from the right end is $12 + 9 = 21$st.
Converting to Left-End Position
To find a person's position from the left end, we use the formula: (Total Students - Position from Right) + 1. Substituting the values: $(81 - 21) + 1 = 60 + 1 = 61$.
Conclusion
Manju is positioned 61st from the left end.
