The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Concept:
In a standard carrom game, the two players sit directly opposite each other.
If one player is facing a particular direction, the player sitting opposite must face the exactly opposite direction.
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.
\[ \boxed{\text{South-East}} \] Hence, option (D) is correct.
