Multiple choice general knowledge

A boy keeps on forgetting everything. While going to school, he forgets whether he is going to school or coming back from school. So what does he do to remind himself ?

  1. He calls his teacher and asks

  2. He asks anyone on the road

  3. He checks the direction

  4. He opens his lunch box and checks
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

This is a lateral thinking riddle. The boy checks his lunch box to determine direction: if it's full in the morning, he's going TO school; if empty, he's coming FROM school. This clever solution uses the lunch box as a directional indicator. The other options (calling teacher, asking people, checking direction) are more direct but don't use the same kind of clever, available tool. This tests creative problem-solving rather than factual knowledge.
