One morning after sunrise Bikram and Shailesh were standing in a lawn with their back towards each other. Bikram's shadow fell exactly towards left-hand side. Which direction was Shailesh facing?

  1. A
    East
  2. B
    West
  3. C
    North
  4. D
    South

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's analyze the directions based on the morning sun:
1. In the morning, the sun rises in the East, so all shadows fall towards the West.
2. Bikram's shadow falls to his exact left-hand side. Since the shadow must fall West, his left hand is pointing West.
3. If your left hand points West and your right hand points East, you must be facing North. So, Bikram is facing North.
4. Bikram and Shailesh are standing back-to-back. Since Bikram faces North, Shailesh must be facing the opposite direction, which is South.
