Solution:

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>How to set the background image starts from the upper left corner of the content</title>
<style type="text/css">/* CSS style start*/
#xyz1 {
border: 8px dashed #3300CC; /* Set border properties for div with id "xyz1" */
padding: 40px; /* Set padding properties for div with id "xyz1" */
background: url(https://www.w3resource.com/images/w3resourcelogo.gif); /* Set background image for div with id "xyz1" */
background-origin:content-box; /* Set the origin of the background image to the content box */
background-repeat: no-repeat; /* Set background image to not repeat */
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="xyz1"><!-- Display a div with id "xyz1" -->
<h2>Background image origin</h2><!-- Display a heading -->
<p>The background-origin CSS property determines the background positioning area, that is the position of the origin of an image specified using the background-image CSS property.</p><!-- Display a paragraph -->
</div>
</body>
</html>

Explanation:

A div element with the ID xyz1 is defined.
The div has a border, padding, and a background image.
The background-origin property is used to specify the origin of the background image within the box (content box in this case).
The background image starts from the upper left corner of the content box due to the background-origin property set to content-box.
