@All.

See in the evening will do opposite our shadow will be in the east so in right we consider as north and in left we consider as the south that's the basic concept.

Guys here 1. Morning (before sunrise/after sunrise)
Sun rises in the East.
So, the shadow is towards the West.

2. Evening (before sunset/after sunset)

Sun sets in the West.
So, the shadow is towards the East.
So accept or learn these conditions and apply according to the question, it is now simple, Sun is in the west and the shadow will be opposite, i.e. east

Step 2: “Hema’s shadow was exactly to her right”
That means when Hema is standing, her right-hand side points toward the East (because her shadow is there).

So:
Hema’s right = East
Therefore, Hema is facing North
(Because when you face North, your right-hand side is East, and your left-hand side is West.)

Step 3: Rekha and Hema are face to face
So Rekha faces the opposite direction of Hema.
If Hema faces North, Rekha faces South.

The answer is North because the shadow will be on the west side.

As in the evening, Sun sets in West and it is given that HEMA's shadow is to the right of Rekha.

Therefore, Hema should be facing South and Rekha should be facing North.
