Fifteen boys are standing in a row facing opposite direction alternately from left to right. If the fourth boy from left is facing towards the east then the fifth boy from the right is facing which direction?
Group of answer choices
East
North-west
South
west
None of these
Solution
The boys are standing in a row facing opposite directions alternately. This means that if one boy is facing east, the boy next to him is facing west, and vice versa.
The fourth boy from the left is facing east. This means that the fifth boy from the left is facing west, the sixth boy is facing east, and so on.
Counting from the right, the fifth boy would be the eleventh boy from the left (since there are 15 boys in total).
Since the fourth boy from the left is facing east, and the boys are alternating directions, the eleventh boy from the left (or the fifth boy from the right) would be facing west.
So, the correct answer is "west".
