Question

Vasishta started walking positioning his back towards the sun. After sometime, Vasishta turned left, then turned right, and then towards left again. Which is the direction Vasishta is going now ?

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

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

To solve this logical reasoning question, we need to track Vasishta's movements to determine his current direction. Let's analyze his steps one by one:

1. Initial Positioning: Vasishta starts walking with his back towards the sun. This means he is initially facing West because the sun rises in the East.
2. First Turn (Left): From facing West, if Vasishta turns left, he will then face South.
3. Second Turn (Right): From facing South, if he turns right, he will face West.
4. Third Turn (Left): Finally, from facing West, if he turns left again, he will face South.

Therefore, after following these movements, Vasishta is currently facing South.

Let's verify the options available and identify the correct one:

• Option 1: North or South - This includes South, which is correct.
• Option 2: East or West - Vasishta is not facing either.
• Option 3: North or West - Vasishta is facing neither.
• Option 4: South or West - While South is correct, this is not as explicitly specified as 'North or South'.

Upon checking all options and analyzing the movements, the correct answer is North or South, as Vasishta is currently facing South.
