One morning Udai and Vishal were talking to each other face to face at a crossing. If Vishal's shadow was exactly to the left of Udai, which direction was Udai facing?
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
C
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).

--- 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...
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.
Uday's back side is at South direction
Hence his face must be in North Position
