One morning, A and B started walking in opposite directions. When they met, A observed that B's shadow was falling to the right of B. In which direction was A walking?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
In the morning, the Sun rises in the East, so all shadows fall towards the West.
• It is given that B's shadow falls to the right of B.
• Since the shadow is in the West, B's right side must be facing West.
• A person's right side is towards the West when they are facing/walking towards the South. Thus, B is walking towards the South.
Since A and B are walking in opposite directions to meet each other, A must be walking towards the North.
Therefore, the correct option is (A).
