Solution

The boy is 19th from both ends. This means that if you count from one end to the other, he will be the 19th boy. If you count from the other end, he will also be the 19th boy.

However, since he is the same boy from both ends, we are counting him twice.

So, to find the total number of boys, we add the positions from both ends and subtract one (to account for the double counting of the boy who is 19th from both ends).

So, the total number of boys is 19 (from one end) + 19 (from the other end) - 1 (for the double counting) = 37 boys.

So, the correct answer is 37.
