Q149
ReasoningDirection Sense
One evening before sunset two friends Ajoy and Amal were talking to each other face to face. If Amal's shadow was exactly to his right side, which direction was Ajoy facing?
- a.North
- b.South
- c.West
- d.None of the above
Answer: (B) South
Before sunset the sun is in the west, so shadows fall towards the east. Amal's shadow is to his right, so his right hand points east, which means he is facing north. Ajoy stands face to face with him and therefore faces south. Remember the morning case too: the sun is in the east and shadows fall to the west.
