One evening before sunset Rekha and Hema were talking to each other face to face. If Hema's shadow was exactly to the right of Hema, which direction was Rekha facing?
North
South
East
Data is inadequate
Answer: Option
Explanation:

In the evening sun sets in West. Hence then any shadow falls in the East. Since Hema's shadow was to the right of Hema. Hence Rekha was facing towards South.

The question says "to the right of Hema" the solution is incorrect as the shadow in the solution is to Hema's left as she is facing south.

In question they mentioned (One evening *before sunset* -- meaning of before sunset is morning). According to this word, Hema should face towards south and Rekha face towards the north. Here the answer is wrong.

Evening: The shadow will be placed.

If you are facing East, the shadow will be placed to the front
Similarly,

West-back.
North-right.
south-left.

In the morning:
East-back.
west-front.
north-left.
south-right.

Here Hema's shadow was exactly right of Hema. So in the evening the girl Hema placed towards North. here the question is Rekha facing which direction. So opposite of North will be "South".

So the answer is "South".

See. It is in the evening. And in the evening, the sun sets in the west. So, before going down, it is in the west not east. Because over the horizon of west. So, the shadow would be in the east and Rekha would be facing the South.

In the morning, if shadow left = north facing.
Shadow right= south facing.

In the evening, if shadow left = south facing.
Shadow right = north facing.
