Question

Sangeetha was facing north-west direction. If she was playing carrom with Sudha in the standard seating pattern, in which direction was Sudha facing?

• A. North-West
• B. North-East
• C. South-West
• D. South-East

Hint:

Important opposite directions: \[ \text{North-East} \leftrightarrow \text{South-West} \] \[ \text{North-West} \leftrightarrow \text{South-East} \] Players sitting opposite each other face opposite directions.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Identify Sangeetha's facing direction.
Sangeetha is facing: \[ \text{North-West} \]

Step 2: Determine the opposite direction.
Opposite direction pairs are: \[ \text{North} \leftrightarrow \text{South} \] \[ \text{East} \leftrightarrow \text{West} \] Therefore, \[ \text{North-West} \] is opposite to \[ \text{South-East} \]

Step 3: Apply the standard carrom seating rule.
Since Sudha is sitting directly opposite Sangeetha, Sudha must face: \[ \text{South-East} \]

Step 4: Write the final answer.
\[ {\text{South-East}} \] Hence, option (D) is correct.
