- BSouth-west
- CNorth-east
- DSouth-east
Explanation
At 5 p.m. the Sun is in the west, so shadows fall east. Dev's left is east, so Dev faces north. A 135° clockwise turn from north gives south-east, since 90° gives east and 45° more gives south-east. Check: Karan faces south, and his right hand is west, which does not match east, so the problem is re-read: Dev's shadow on his left points east, Karan's right when facing north is east, so Karan faces north. This contradiction means a different reading is required.

One question tells you little. A timed set on Direction Tests shows your real accuracy, how long you take and where you lose marks.
