let's break down this direction problem!

The key to solving this is understanding how shadows form in the morning.
In the morning, the sun rises in the East.
This means that shadows will generally be cast towards the West.

Now, the question says Vishal's shadow was to the left of Udai.
Since the shadow is cast towards the West, and it's to Udai's left, this means Udai must be facing North.

Think of it like this: If Udai is facing North, his left side would be towards the West, where Vishal's shadow is.

Therefore, the answer is: North.
So the correct option is (C).

    USE SIMPLE LOGIC GUYS, DONE JUST RANDOMLY COMMENT. IF VISHALS SHADOW IS ON UDAI'S LEFT AND ITS MORNING, HENCE ITS CLEAR THAT UDAI HAS ITS SUN (EAST) ON ITS RIGHT AND SHADOW (ON WEST) AND SINCE HE' S FACING VISHAL IT WILL BE CLEAR THAT UDAI IS FACING NORTH. UNDERSTAND VIA THIS DIAGRAM

    (V-SHADOW) VISHAL (SUN)
    --- WEST---- -----EAST------
    (LEFT) UDAI (RIGHT)

    FOR WEST TO BE ON HIS LEFT AND EAST ON RIGHT IT HAS BE TO THAT UDAI FACES NORTH. SOLVED QUERY...

    To determine the direction Udai was facing, let's analyze the information given:

    Time of Day: Morning.
    Vishal's Shadow: Exactly to the left of Udai.
    Positions: Udai and Vishal were talking to each other face to face.
    In the morning, the sun rises in the east and casts shadows towards the west.

    Since Vishal's shadow is to the left of Udai, Vishal must be facing north. Consequently, Udai, facing Vishal, would be facing south.

    Therefore, Udai was facing south.

    Ans is south bcoz sun is in East direction in the morning and when udai is facing south his shadow is in right. Due to facing each other udai's right is Vishal's left.

    @bipul pal
    Uday's back side is at South direction
    Hence his face must be in North Position
