The question doesn't specify the time when the 'bright planet' was observed. That makes a difference ... every object in the sky rises in the east and sets in the west once a day, and may be seen in a whole range of different directions at different times of night.
We can probably assume that the author of the question made his observation at some time in the early evening; most casual sky-gazers do their gazing between sunset and normal bed-time.
These days, the planet Jupiter is rising just about the same time as the sun is setting, at a point on the horizon that is just south of due east.
