One evening before sunset, Rekha and Hema were talking face-to-face. If Hema's shadow was exactly to the right of Hema, which direction was Rekha facing?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. North
- Step 1: Before sunset, the Sun is in the West, casting all shadows toward the East.
- Step 2: Hema's shadow falls to her right, which means East is to Hema's right.
- Step 3: When East is to a person's right, that person must be facing South (Hema faces South).
- Step 4: Since Rekha and Hema face each other, Rekha must be facing North.
Answer
North.
Why not the others: South is the direction Hema is facing; East and West align parallel to the shadow line rather than perpendicular.
