Verbal Reasoning - Direction Sense Test - Discussion

Sir,

Can you explain in detail the facing position of niharika.

If she is facing towards north and how the shadow falls from south side to the right of nivedita. Please explain?

I prefer short cut of,

MR-S(morning right then ans is south),
ML-N(morning left then north),
ER-N(evening right then north),
EL-S(evening left then south).

Can you please explain me?

The simple answer is that in the morning shadow falls in the west. Therefore it is given that Niharika's shadow was exactly to the right of Nivedita. So Niharika's shadow was in west so Niharika is facing north.

Can you explain in brief by step?

@Sushant.

MR-s (morning right-- south) but answer is NORTH.

No, Niharika facing south.

Technically, if Niharika's shadow is falling exactly right of Nivedita, then sun is in SE direction. If SE is East then Niharika should be facing NW direction.

I think the answer is south.

See, the sun rises in the east, so the shadow would be in the west (left). So, if Nivedita is standing in the South, then she would see Niharika's shadow in the right side (remember, the direction changes, if the shadow is in the left in the North direction then in South, it would be right i.e., opposite) and in the question, it is said that THEY'RE TALKING FACE TO FACE (i. E, opposite to each other. How we usually talk!), so. If Nivedita is in the south, then Niharika would be in the opposite direction i.e., north.
