Since the sun rises in the east, shadows always fall toward the west in the morning. For a shadow to appear exactly to the left or right, the person cannot be facing east or west, because in those directions the shadow would fall directly behind them. Therefore, they must be facing either north or south.

Now, if Udai were facing south, Vishal (standing opposite him, facing north) would have his shadow fall to Udai’s right. But if Udai is facing north, then Vishal (standing opposite him, facing south) will have his shadow fall exactly to Udai’s left.

Hence, Udai must be facing North.

Here, it says in the morning , so the sunrises from the East. So the shadow will be in the west. So in the question, Vishal's shadow will be in the west, which is Udai's left side. Hence, the answer is north.

@All.

Here, it's mentioned as it is sunrise because Vishal's shadow is left of Uday. I thought South because the direction I took is N.
W - | - E
S.
Put Vishal at the top and Uday at the bottom reverse the answer.

Then you can find the answer is North because the sun rises in the east so the shadow is on the west (left of Uday) and Uday is facing North.

THE ANSWER IS NORTH.
