Two ladies and two men are playing bridge and seated at North, East, South and West of a table. No lady is facing East. Persons sitting opposite to each other are not of the same sex. One man is facing South. Which direction are the ladies facing? 

Options

• East and West.

• South and East

• None of these.

• North and West.

Answer 1

North and West.

Explanation:

The direction diagram is as follows:

One man is facing south, thus one lady will be facing north (as persons opposite to each other are of opposite sex). Further, as no lady is facing east, another lady will face west and another man will face east. Thus, the ladies are facing North and West as shown in the above diagram.
