Verbal Reasoning - Direction Sense Test - Discussion

They took EW in a different way than the normal. What if they take east on right and west on south. In north and south, north at top and south at bottom. Vishal's will be facing south and not north.

Uday and Vishal are facing each other. First look at the question, it's talking about shadow, so Vishal's shadow is left to Uday as mentioned. And its a morning time so shadow will form to the west. i.e., the shadow is in the west direction to Uday.

If you draw a small diagram, see that Uday is facing to Vishal. So if you are facing to east your back will face west. And always remember that your left hand always faces towards north.

SUN SHADOW.
MORNING: EAST WEST.
EVENING: WEST EAST.

Apply a little common sense. You will succeed.

Thank you.

Can anyone explain in detail?

Correct answer. Because the sun rises morning at east. Shadow of Vishal will appear in west. So Udai facing north direction.

@Nirosha is correct. If Vishal & Udai would face along the East west direction, then the answer will differ.

Can any One Explain about MR-S rule. How it is possible?

I agree with every who doesn't support answer given and I have one more doubt are the directions took by him is correct?

Question is not cleared. Why everybody is considering the sun is in the east? It may be in the west also in the afternoon. So in that case answer will be different. Please cross check it.

North is the right answer because udai is in north and facing towards south, and vishal in south and facing towards north. Sunrise is from east so, both the shadows directed towards west. We have two options here.

1. Vishal shadow was exactly to the left of udai.
2. Udai shadow was exactly to the right of udai.

If we can go with question option 1 is correct.

There is no possibility to change the positions of udai and vishal, if we change options 1 and 2 will get reversed then we can't go with the question.

@Surendra,

Why vishal couldn't be at south and uday in north ?

i.e, 4th point can't be changed as vishal in south and uday in north? please clarify
