The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze Anuj's movements step by step. Let's break it down: 1. **Initial Position**: Anuj starts walking with his back towards the sun. - If it is morning, the sun is in the east, which means Anuj is facing west. - If it is evening, the sun is in the west, which means Anuj is facing east. 2. **First Turn (Left)**: - If Anuj is facing west (morning), turning left means he is now facing south. - If Anuj is facing east (evening), turning left means he is now facing north. 3. **Second Turn (Right)**: - If Anuj is facing south (morning), turning right means he is now facing west. - If Anuj is facing north (evening), turning right means he is now facing east. 4. **Third Turn (Left)**: - If Anuj is facing west (morning), turning left means he is now facing south. - If Anuj is facing east (evening), turning left means he is now facing north. 5. **Conclusion**: - In the morning case, after all the turns, Anuj ends up facing south. - In the evening case, after all the turns, Anuj ends up facing north. Thus, the final answer depends on the time of day: - If it is morning, Anuj is going **south**. - If it is evening, Anuj is going **north**.
