One evening before sunset, two friends Amit and Shiv were talking to each other face-to-face. If Amit's shadow was exactly to his left side, then which direction was Shiv facing?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → North
In the evening the Sun is in the West, so every shadow falls towards the East.
Amit’s shadow is to his left, so his left is East.
A person whose left hand points East is facing South, so Amit faces South.
Shiv stands face to face with Amit, so Shiv faces the opposite way: North.
Tip: Fix the Sun first: in the morning it is in the East and shadows fall to the West; in the evening the other way round. Then turn the body until the shadow is on the side the question gives.
