Is there any other way of finding the open files in a directory apart from command 'lsof'.
Well, yes, I think that there is. But whether its any good for you depends on whether it shares the same flaw as 'lsof'. As you don't say why lsof does not fulfil this purpose for you I can't comment, except that maybe your lecturer has asked you to find another way of finding open files.

lsof is really the obvious way to do it; what is wrong with that?

pldd

PLDD(1) 							 Linux User Manual							   PLDD(1)

NAME

       pldd - display dynamic shared objects linked into a process

SYNOPSIS

       pldd pid
       pldd option

DESCRIPTION

       The  pldd  command  displays a list of the dynamic shared objects that are linked into the process with the specified process ID.  The list
       includes the libraries that have been dynamically loaded using dlopen(3).

OPTIONS

       -?, --help
	      Display program help message.

       --usage
	      Display a short usage message.

       -V, --version
	      Display the program version.

EXIT STATUS

       On success, pldd exits with the status 0.  If the specified process does not exist, the user does not have permission to access its dynamic
       shared  object  list, or no command-line arguments are supplied, pldd exists with a status of 1.  If given an invalid option, it exits with
       the status 64.

VERSIONS

       pldd is available since glibc 2.15.

CONFORMING TO

       The pldd command is not specified by POSIX.1.  Some other systems have a similar command.

NOTES

       The command

	   lsof -p PID

       also shows output that includes the dynamic shared objects that are linked into a process.

       The gdb(1) info shared command also shows the shared libraries being used by a process, so that one can obtain similar output to pldd using
       a command such as the following (to monitor the process with the specified pid):

	   $ gdb -ex "set confirm off" -ex "set height 0" -ex "info shared" 
		   -ex "quit" -p $pid | grep '^0x.*0x'

BUGS

       Since glibc 2.19, pldd is broken: it just hangs when executed.  It is unclear if it will ever be fixed.

EXAMPLE

       $ echo $$	       # Display PID of shell
       1143
       $ pldd $$	       # Display DSOs linked into the shell
       1143:	 /usr/bin/bash
       linux-vdso.so.1
       /lib64/libtinfo.so.5
       /lib64/libdl.so.2
       /lib64/libc.so.6
       /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
       /lib64/libnss_files.so.2
