Verbal Reasoning - Direction Sense Test - Discussion

Here the direction assumption matters.

According to the compass, the North direction will be upward side not on downward side. Sunrises on the East side so the shadow will be Westside. In that sense, Udai was facing towards the North only.

South is the right answer.

South is the correct answer.

South should be the answer.

Vishal should be facing south so that his shadow appears to the left of Udai.

So, the answer: North.

Why is both are cant stand in east to west direction? then the ans will be differ?

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.

I agree to nirosha's point.

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.

When Uday and Vishal are facing to each other, Uday will be in North and Vishal will be in the south. When Vishal's shadow is facing to the South, then Uday's shadow will face to North because they both are facing each other

That's is why I thought the answer is NORTH.
