Question

Ms. X came out of a building through its front door to find her shadow due to the morning sun falling to her right side with the building to her back. From this, it can be inferred that the building is facing ________

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

Hint:

In the morning, the sun rises in the east. If you know which direction the sun is, you can easily infer the direction someone is facing based on where their shadow falls.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

In this problem, we need to infer the direction the building is facing based on the given information. Let's break it down step by step:
Step 1: Understand the scenario
- Ms. X comes out of the building through its front door. This means the direction she faces is determined by the orientation of the door.
- The morning sun is falling on her right side. We know that the sun rises in the east in the morning. Therefore, if the sun is on Ms. X's right, it means she must be facing north (because the sun will be on the east side).
- The building is to her back. This means the building is positioned behind Ms. X, so the building must be facing in the opposite direction from where Ms. X is facing.
Step 2: Deduce the facing direction of the building
- Since Ms. X is facing north, the building must be facing the opposite direction: south.
Thus, the building is facing south. Hence, the correct answer is (D).
Final Answer: (D)
