Logical Reasoning Question on Puzzle
A directional post is erected on a crossing. In an accident, it was turned in such a way that the arrow which was first showing east is now showing south. A passerby went in a wrong direction thinking it is west. In which direction is he actually travelling now ?
A
North
B
South
C
East
D
West
Answer
South
Explanation
Solution
The correct option is (B): South
Explanation: the directional post was rotated, and the arrow that originally pointed east is now pointing south. Since the passerby mistakenly thinks they are going west (which is opposite of east), they are actually moving in the direction opposite to where the post currently points, which is south. Therefore, the passerby is traveling south, and the answer is B: South.
