Question

At sunrise, Ajay and Vijay are having a conversation standing in front of each other. The shadow of Vijay is formed towards the right hand of Ajay. What direction is Vijay facing?

• A. North-East
• B. South
• C. East
• D. North

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

To solve this problem, we need to determine the direction Vijay is facing based on the position of the sun and the direction of his shadow at sunrise.

1. At sunrise, the sun rises in the east.
2. If Vijay and Ajay are standing in front of each other, and the shadow of Vijay is cast towards Ajay's right, we need to determine which direction Ajay's right corresponds to.
3. Assuming Ajay is facing Vijay, and the sun is in the east, Vijay's shadow must fall opposite to the sun towards the west.
4. If Vijay's shadow is towards Ajay's right, it implies that Ajay's right is west.
5. Since Ajay's right is west, he is facing north (because when facing north, west is on the left and east is on the right).
6. Therefore, if Ajay is facing north, Vijay must be facing south since they are facing each other.

Therefore, the correct answer is that Vijay is facing North.
