Correct answer: A. North and West
- A. North and West
- B. South and East
- C. North and East
- D. East and West
Explanation
To solve this problem, first note that there are two ladies and two men seated at a table with positions at North, East, South, and West.1. No lady is facing East.2. Persons sitting opposite to each other are not of the same sex, meaning a lady must sit opposite a man.3. One man is facing South. Therefore, the person opposite him, facing North, must be a lady.4. Since no lady is facing East and one lady is already facing North, the other lady must be facing West, as the only remaining direction.This means the ladies are facing North and West. The other options are incorrect because they either place a lady in a disallowed position (East) or conflict with the condition that one man is already facing South.
